Duplicates CORE1898

The user is able to log in with a paswword that is an extended version of the password used for the database.

example:
if the password for the database is := masterkey then
the user is able to log in with a password of := masterkeythisisthepasswordrighthere
providing the username matches

this is however does not appear to apply to the username field

Up to FB 2.5.x, only the first 8 chars of the password are used. Afair, FB 3 will raise this limit to 32 chars.
