PS1: 
I think this is a very hacky approach to solve this problem. I think we can better than that and design a proper protocol extension that allows larger username and password.

We would be better to not doctor around the problem of broken framing but rather negotiate allowing record spliting and allow more dynamic frame sizes than the 2048. Then we can also have proper support for longer username and password.
