- jimktrains2 12y agoYeah, I'm being downvoted for pointing out the method some places use. It's terrible to have anything but a minimum length requirement IMHO. Making it password insensitive is nice for users, but does make the resultant search space much smaller (to the point that I don't think the convince for users trumps, especially given the UI can inform them if they have caps lock on to begin with).
- WA 12y agoWhich is weird, too. I wrote an email once to Blizzard, asking why they also have a maxlength for the password. This doesn't mean anything, but it could be an indicator for password = VARCHAR(16). Makes no sense whatsoever to restrict the length of a password, especially in such a large network. Never got a reply though.
