There is a limit in the total length of login:password to 63 characters
in Squid-2.5. Other than this there is no limit on the password length.
So if your login name is 47 characters long then the password will
indeed be limited to 15 characters. Smaller logins allow for larger
passwords.

I would guess it is the authenticator helper or backend user database
you use who is the culprit. Have you tried running the authenticators
manually?
