I had posted this in the Django Forums, but I was told to repost here. The link to the forum post is below.

The tl;dr is: Was it intentional to remove the max length HTML form validation from the AuthenticationForm in Django 2.1, or is it a regression?

Thanks for the report.

Previously AuthenticationForm's username field had "max_length" always set to 254, currently it should use "max_length" from the model's username field (see https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27515 and https://github.com/django/django/commit/5ceaf14686ce626404afb6a5fbd3d8286410bf13). However HTML "maxlength" attribute is not set anymore so it's a regression I created a new ticket https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30776.

Best,

Mariusz
