At the risk of invoking Cunningham's Law, nobody uses passphrases anywhere near 64 bytes that he / she has to memorize. And if you're using a password manager, just use the raw or hex key option.
32 bytes => 64 hex digits, which is probably not a coincidence. :-)
- takeda 9y agoPassword yes, passphprase it's quite possible.
- takeda 9y agoEh, Materialistic doesn't allow me to edit my comment. I mean you're right about passwords, but a passphrases (e.g. a sentences) are easy to remember, more secure and can often be longer than 64 bytes.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoEr, of course it's not a coincidence; hex is base 16, so it takes 4 bits to represent each digit, which is half a byte. That is, hex always is 2 digits per byte. Or did I miss your point?
