At least in government there often were weird limits on password length (ie, 8, 40, 72 ) or in tooling around passwords. Certificates seem to force allow things

At least in government there often were weird limits on password length (ie, 8, 40, 72 ) or in tooling around passwords. Certificates seem to force allow things like 2048 bits. Didn't Red Hat have a default at 8 for a while??
- kevincox 2y agoYeah. But if you can afford to store a certificate of that size you can afford to store the password. Also worth noting that for most types of certificate (like RSA where 2048 bit keys are common) there is much less than 2048 bits of entropy. So in practice the numbers probably end up much closer.
