In password security, the longer the better. With a password manager, using more than 24 characters is simple. Unless, of course, the secure password is not accepted due to its length. (In this case, through STOVE.)
Possibly indicating cleartext storage of a limited field (which is an absolute no-go), or suboptimal or lacking security practices.
i once used 20 for a bank. the website havent told me it was too long just clipped off 2 and accepted the rest. not even the banking support was able to help me. took me a few days to solve this by accident.
This shit always pisses me off. I’ve encountered it in like 2-3 places over the years since I started using a password manager, and every time it’s so frustrating and hard to figure out.
That must have been frustrating. How many times did it lock you out from trying again?
