Authentication failes with a 45 character password

[kschaefers-engelhorn]

Problem: When running sfcc-ci client:auth I received a 504 Gateway timeout with a password that had 45 characters. There were no special characters in the password - only letters and numbers. After a long seach and comparisons to colleagues where the command with the same version of sfcc-ci worked without any problems I changed my password to 32 characters and even included special characters. Since changing the password the command works like a charm!

As the only thing I've changed is the length of the password it seems to me that there is a problem in case the password is too long and the timeout error message is not helping when trying to figure out the problem. I was able to log into the account manager and instances with this password without any problems.

Another thing that makes me sure that this is a problem within sfcc-ci: I've tried the command on 3 different setups. All had the same result with the timeout and worked like a charm when using a dw.json of a colleague with a shorter password.

Please either notify the user in case the password is longer than sfcc-ci can handle with a corresponding error message or even better: make it possible to have long passwords when using sfcc-ci.

After looking at this again and tying one more time it seems to me that the Authenticator App might have not have responded to the 2 factor authentication or so - I currently can not reproduce this and therefore I'll close the ticket and let you know in case I have a better description of how to reproduce the issue.
