I'll have to go check again I only recently got it working and I'm quite sure the password I chose was restricted to something like 10 to 15 characters. Nearly all my passwords for other site are a minimum of 25 (completely random) characters if not longer.
It took me a good solid week of e-mailing support, MS forums, Googling to get it unlocked. People constantly spam it or think it's their account (I've had it since '97) so they constantly try to log into it which apparently locks me the legitimate user out of the account, great feature!
- onemoreact 15y agoTyping random passwords that long is simply a waste of time. 70^15 ~= 10^27 passwords assuming a 10 billion computers each checked a 100 billion passwords a second after 10,000,000,000 years there would be a 0.1% chance they cracked your account.
