Passowrd length again
#1
Again, why is that restriction for 30 characters max password length?

I think we've discussed this previously (though I'm not going to try and find it, I'm just to lazy), as to password length and complexity. I believe it boiled down to a case of diminishing return, in other words, there comes a point where size doesn't matterĀ  Dance .
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

It matters for me because I don't remember passwords. I remember something else and md5 hash it. So I copy these 32 symbols and paste them here. There were many times when I couldn't log in because I keep pasting, again and again, all 32 characters until I realize that I have to submit only 30 :)

Strange, I can't remember where I put my glasses, but have no problem remembering long obscure passwords.

I changed the max password len to 64 Wink. I think 30 was just a default number
Also moved thread to board

Is this math correct? each byte having 8 bits and 256 combinations?
Or 127 if you remove 8th bit.

The 8th bit is the minus sign... I think

8th bit is sign if the byte is a signed byte, or part of the whole if unsigned.
ASCII is considered 7 bit, but utf-8 varies from 7 (free) bits (zero for 8th) to 21 (free) bits in a 4 byte format.
