Generally speaking, it would not be serious issue. 72 bytes constant prefix
would
not be used most likely.
However, bug like this in "authentication" code must be detected and
fixed.
If password should be truncated, it should be truncated by app developers
explicitly and
notified users that their password had been truncated. IMHO.
