Password Lenght

Open felhasznalonev opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Why cant password be longer than 50 characters? (Little bit surprising.) Please increase 50 to at least 1024 (see for example: https://psono.com/password-generator).

Just to clarify for anybody coming across this: The password length for the generator is maxed out at 50 characters. Longer passwords can be stored.

Just trying to understand for what reason someone could ever need passwords longer than 50 characters? As far as I know already 12+ is already nearly impossible to crack and it takes centuries.

For example development of quantum computers and artificial intelligences maybe reason.

50 is an arbitrary limit. It could be increased, but I wouldn't want to indicate to first time users that such a length is necessary. I suppose there's no harm in increasing it further, even to say 100 characters.

I'd accept a PR for this - it needs to be made on the UI repo.
