Recommendations

1. Improve error messages: clearly state cause (e.g., “Password storage limit reached — please contact support” or “Password too long/complex — max 64 chars”).
2. Document password policy: display length and allowed characters on the form and provide a strength meter.
3. Implement robust password reset flow with graceful degradation if backend quotas are reached.
4. Add account/credential storage monitoring and auto-scaling to avoid “full” states.
5. Offer two-factor authentication and encourage strong password practices.
6. Add a dedicated help article and faster support escalation path for account-access issues.
