I saw this interesting question on Mastodon.
Noel Romey: What system limitations exist that force a password rule to disallow passsords over 14 characters. Storage is cheap y’all. Security breeches are extremely more expensive.
I do know that some sites still allow our simple passwords that shouldn’t be used anymore.
It dawned on me that this person named above does have a question that I’m not even sure what the answer might be except limitations on programming.
What that might be, I don’t know. But I do know that there may be accounts here that I support that could possibly have larger character passwords than that. But why we still have limits of 8 characters and some other variation rules like the quoted toot is beyond me.
If anyone has any ideas, come on forward and let us know the wisdom! Sharing knowledge is power!
