When configuring / adding a new SMTP server, an error is thrown due to exceeding the maximum length of passwordEncrypted when entering a password with is 70 characters long. SendGrid has alerted us that on 1/20, they will disable access which is not using their APIKeys, which are 70 characters long. We previously found a solution for this issue by using basic authentication (username/password) with SendGrid, but that option will not be available after 1/20.
Please provide a patch / fix for this issue, increasing the maximum length of the password / passwordEncrypted field in the database and code (WebObjects). I can see that it is nvarchar(100) in the database schema, but when AES encrypting a 70 character string it must be larger than 100 characters. This is a very high priority issue for us and needs to be resolved in advance of January 20th, 2021.
