Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/185

When I wish to connect via tcp to libvirtd I need to enter a username which is 26 chars long (including the full hostname).

webvirtmgr won't let me enter it though as it throws an error at me:

Ensure this value has at most 20 characters (it has 26).

Is there a reason why the length is capped at 20 or is it merely an artificial limit that's imposed?

The same limitation applied for password field. Should be removed entirely I suppose.
