Passowrd length again - wavic - Oct-07-2017 Again, why is that restriction for 30 characters max password length? RE: Passowrd length again - sparkz_alot - Oct-07-2017 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 . RE: Passowrd length again - wavic - Oct-07-2017 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 :) RE: Passowrd length again - Larz60+ - Oct-07-2017 Strange, I can't remember where I put my glasses, but have no problem remembering long obscure passwords. RE: Passowrd length again - snippsat - Oct-07-2017 RE: Passowrd length again - metulburr - Oct-07-2017 I changed the max password len to 64 . I think 30 was just a default number Also moved thread to board RE: Passowrd length again - Larz60+ - Oct-07-2017 Is this math correct? each byte having 8 bits and 256 combinations? Or 127 if you remove 8th bit. RE: Passowrd length again - wavic - Oct-07-2017 The 8th bit is the minus sign... I think RE: Passowrd length again - Larz60+ - Oct-07-2017 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. |
