Error message
Mem0 memory event ${eventId} failed: ${reason} What it means
The /auth endpoints enforce a minimum password length of 8 characters (MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH in server/routers/auth.py). _require_password_length runs on registration (and any flow reusing it) before any DB write, rejecting shorter passwords with 400. This is a local policy check independent of bcrypt's own 72-byte limit.

Solutions
- Use a password of at least 8 characters when registering.
- Align frontend validation with the 8-character minimum so the error never reaches the server.
- Mirror the rule in client-side form validation: minlength=8 on the input.
Example fix
<!-- before --> <input type="password" name="password" minlength="4" required> <!-- after --> <input type="password" name="password" minlength="8" required>
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Validate before calling
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 8
def validate_password(pw: str) -> str:
if len(pw) < MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH:
raise ValueError(f"Password must be at least {MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH} characters.")
return pw Type guard
def is_valid_password(pw: str | None) -> bool:
return isinstance(pw, str) and len(pw) >= 8 Prevention
- Set minlength=8 on registration forms.
- Keep client and server password policies in sync via shared constants.
- Use generated passwords for test accounts that exceed the minimum.
When it happens
Trigger: POST /auth/register with password '1234567' (7 chars) or shorter; onboarding flows whose frontend allows shorter passwords than the server; whitespace-trimmed passwords that drop below 8 characters.
Common situations: Quick local testing with throwaway passwords like 'test'; frontend validation set to 6 chars while the server requires 8; password managers generating short passphrases for sandbox environments.
