Reported privately by [https://github.com/tiran Christian Heimes]:
The warning "Password truncation with BCryptPasswordHasher" on
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/auth/passwords/#using-bcrypt-
with-django is incorrect. BCrypt truncates on ''bytes'' not
''characters''. For ASCII passwords that's 72 characters, but for Unicode
passwords, this can be as short as 18 characters.
