Well it's to the point now where I can't remember my passwords they are so long and complex plus I have so many accounts I need a password manager to manage all of that.
With a password manager why bother restricting any password to anything less than the maximum? Gmail's password limit is 100 characters so I did that and any other account they are maxed out. Add to that extra authentication and also change them at least once every six month at minimum.
The problem is my most valuable account, my bank, is stuck 15 years in the past.
- 16s 14y agoThat because somewhere in the bank, they still have mainframes in use and old Unisys guys are on call to support them ;)
- SCdF 14y agoI've done the same, though I tend to limit it at about 24 characters, simply because if I come across a situation where I have to type it on a foreign computer while reading the password from the password manager on my phone, I don't want to be there all week..
