They also restrict it to <= 16 characters.... Yea, that's still decently secure, but there's nothing like a 50 character password that's pretty much impossible

They also restrict it to <= 16 characters.... Yea, that's still decently secure, but there's nothing like a 50 character password that's pretty much impossible to break. I don't get why they put these restrictions on. Probably some brainless dev decided to make a SQL column 16-bytes wide.
EDIT: That doesn't even make sense, unless they're storing plain-text passwords.
- Steko 14y agoIf you're at the point of needing a 50 character passcode for your blizzard game maybe you should just download the free authenticator.
- icebraining 14y agoOK, where can I download that free authenticator for my Nokia S60?
- Steko 14y agoRun java? http://arenabooster.marisil.org/bma.htm http://arenabooster.marisil.org/bma.htm
- icebraining 14y agoNope: The Java-based (J2ME) versions of the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator previously available through this website have been discontinued. http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/mobile/ http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/mobile/
- estel 14y agoWell, they do offer http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/battlenet-sms-protect http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/battlenet-sms-protec... which provides an extra (but different) layer of security.
- icebraining 14y agoAssuming you're from one of the "supported countries", though, which aren't listed.

- nilved 14y agoTwo-factor authentication shouldn't be a replacement for a good password scheme, it should supplement it. Otherwise it's one-and-a-half factor. :)
- nilved 14y agoThey limit to 16 characters silently. I used a 32-character password for quite some time and wasn't aware that it was silently being truncated to 16.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoThere was a site I used where one password field was something like 20 chars max, the other was 50. So I could change my password but never log in with it. That company was namecheap, if I remember rightly.
