To Reproduce Try to log in with the right password with extra characters
Expected behavior Consider it a wrong password
Client (please complete the following information):
- OS: Latest Arch linux
- Browser: Any
- Browser version: Tested on latest firefox, safari, chromium, chrome
Server (please complete the following information):
- noVNC version: [e.g. 1.0.0 or git commit id]
- VNC server: TigerVNC

This is because the default "VNC authentication" security type only uses the first eight characters of the password. You should use other security types if you need a longer password.
Indeed. However, we could probably be better about warning users that aren't that familiar with VNC.
Also see TigerVNC/tigervnc#370 for the same discussion in that project.
