Agreed, this is an issue, as most (common sense people) will use the max (64 
characters).
I have a pregenerated, 64-character hex key (0-9,a-z) pasting correctly into 
the field.
After entering a message to encrypt & sign, I paste the password in.
Manually counting the asterisks, there are, indeed, 64 of them.
Pressing OK will make the prompt appear twice more, having to paste in again.
After third attempt, the following error is given:

---------------------------

An error occurred while performing the requested operation.

I suspect this may have something to do with pasting?
Is it only allowable to manually key in passphrases?

Looking at 
https://code.google.com/p/cryptophane/source/browse/trunk/src/Passphrase.pas

...
PassphraseEdit.MaxLength := 64;
  PassphraseEdit.Text := '';
  try
    result := false;
    if ShowModal <> mrOK then Exit;
    StrLCopy(passphrase, PChar(PassphraseEdit.Text), 63);
    result := true;
  finally
    blank := '';
    for i := 1 to Length(PassphraseEdit.Text) do blank := blank + ' ';
    PassphraseEdit.Text := blank;
    PassphraseEdit.Text := '';
  end;
...

Issue might be here.
Tried it myself; can confirm that only passwords <=63 chars will work.
>=64 chars will create an error, as mentioned.
Maybe initialize the loop with counter i := 0 so as to iterate the full 64 
chars?
