As for 7 chars vs 8 chars - this is the old bug in links - IMO it should use
<= when considering 'maxlength' attribute of 'input' tag, rather than '<',
IMO.
As for your particular problem - there is an obvious solution - download the
page you need to use with lynx (using 'd' - that way it will get <BASE>,
edit the html to add <input type=submit> - i.e. add button - and then load
that local file instead of ISP's). You can even insert your login in some
form field in order to save typing and save it.
