password policies / length restriction

When I started rolling out tightvnc 2.7.10 in 2016 I installed on 
Windows 7-machines and I could set password-length far above eight 
characters. As admin-password I chose thirteen characters f.e. When 
starting installing new Windows-10 machines last year, I recognized that 
suddenly I could only set the first eight characters of the passwords 
used on the old Windows 7-machines. I didn't see any option to 
vary/change the password length. When I started reading this 
mailing-list archive I wondered reading that I would be quite normal to 
only use 8 chars in order to maintain compatibility of all vnc-products. 
But the fact is, that on the machines installed in 2016 I could use more 
than eight chars using the same version 2.7.10. I tried the newest 
version and the problem stayed the same. Is there any possibility to "go 
back" to more than eight chars on new installations? Does even anyone 
had the same issue/phenomenon? Does it even has anything to do with the 
OS (Windows 7/10)? Thanks a lot!
