I can. My wife, who I've taught to use a password manager, probably can't. And neither of these excuses a 27 character limit that strongly suggests my password is being stored unencrypted somewhere.
- keteb 9y agoNot sure how that suggests that at all. User inputs have some sort of cap (don't want someone using a 2GB string as their password). So naturally there's a conversation at some point about "what's our maximum password size". If that conversation starts off at 1000 characters you're fine, but more often then not it looks more like: "Make the requirement 8-12 characters" "12 is too short" "fine make it longer, like" "Ok" [18 char implementation] "Hey, Bob in accounting says he uses 20 char passwords" "Fine, bump it by another 50%" [27 char implementation] [no further internal complaints] [Specs never updated or reviewed again]
