Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 months agoAll passwords longer than eight characters are silently truncated anyway.

good read. TLDR is that Sun Microsystems database software truncated passwords to 8 characters and the OP assumed that others must do that too. I surely hope not, TBH. I thought truncating to 8 characters had to do with computational or storage efficiency back when that mattered. I’m pretty sure most database fields if they’re modern use like a 256 character limit for passwords right?

Only by batshit insane system wreckers. Normal systems don’t do this at all.

Only by very badly designed systems. Most are not truncated but hashed. Those hashes are much longer than 8 characters.
