How can I change the length of fe_users field in TYPO3 [duplicate]

Question

I'm using TYPO3 9.5. LTS and insert some fe_users. The TCA input field title is to short for me, only 40 characters. I need more, so the value must be at least 255 characters (varchar).

How can I change the value of a TCA-field of an system extension or table from TYPO3?

I've tried to override typo3conf/ext/myextension/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/fe_users.php with:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['fe_users']['columns']['title']['config']['size'] = 128; 
$GLOBALS['TCA']['fe_users']['columns']['title']['config']['max'] = 128;

But after saving, I get an error:

I also edit the field title in table fe_users from varchar(40) to (255) (-> phpmyadmin), database compare, clear cache, ... still the same error?!

Where's my mistake? Where did I forget something?

edit: I see, that my changes in phpmyadmin are not working. How can I change the value for that field?:

Solution: Everything like initial post ... additional insert into your own ext_tables.sql:

CREATE TABLE fe_users (
    title varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL
);

Now, the title has varchar(255).
