Why would you think it is stored in plain text? I imagine they were probably only using the first 16 characters and silently discarding the rest.

- Piskvorrr 13y agoGreat security. Hey, it's more secure than LANMAN, right? I mean, that one had 14 characters..
- spydum 13y agoMy employer migrated to MS hosted exchange, so I am also experiencing this. I think at the time I had a 20+ char password, and it never complained. For some reason though, they have changed their UI's now on things like live login pages, and it is HERE that you can't supply your full password any ore. I had to reset my password to be 16 chars to be able to use the web interface. The back end was working just fine with 20+.
- dfc 13y agoDid you ever try only the first 19 or 18 or 17 or 16 of your 20+ password in the past? Just because they are alerting you to something now does not mean that in the past they did not silently ignore any chars past 16.
