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.
What's the point? no one is brute forcing a 12-15 password if the login system has ANY login attempt protection anyway.
This seems like one of the extreme overkill things...
One time I worked a job where you had to make EXACTLY a 12 character password using only ten letters and two numbers.
Happens more and more often
funniest experience that ive had is that i made a psn (playstation network) account with a 64 (iirc, might have been 32, dont remember) character password. That worked making the account on my PC on their website. Never was able to log into that account on my playstation tho and the error message was just some generic error. Support didnt know what was going on and i didnt either until it dawned on me. The password was too long for the console. Changed the whole thing to a shorter one and now it works everywhere. Used to work on their website, not in the app, not on console. Fun.
Recently had a password that was acceptable for the account creation page on the website but too long for the login screen in the mobile app.
Took me a while to figure out that pasting into that field was just quietly dropping characters.
What is worse is when it does not quietly drop any characters and you have to keep resetting your password.
The password on my PC is something like 30 characters long. Back when win10 was first coming out, they were pushing getting an actual outlook account and tying that to your login. I was hesitant at first, but figured I'd try it out and see how that worked for me.
Turns out outlook accounts (at the time) had something like a 16 character limit on passwords. Bruh.
Banks are the fucking worst for this. I assume it's because they're built on some 500 year old CICS mainframe.
There should be a limit to prevent DoS attacks but really it should be like 1M characters or something.
No, there should be no limit. The password should be salted and hashed stored on the server side they should be uniformly like 256 or 512 characters behind the scenes no matter if you send it 5 characters or 50,000. The password that is stored is just a mathematical representation of the password.
As far as DDOS, It doesn't matter what the limit is, you can send them millions of characters rven if they have a limit. If you're going to DDOS you're going to just use SYN flood, pings, for all of the matters you could send headers.
Not DDOS, DOS. You can often crash an unprepared server with one request by telling it to hash more data than it has memory for. See this blog post for a well-known web framework. Let’s say I just sent it a 10GB password, it still has to process that data whether or not the hash eventually shortens to the database field length.
I got a login on an IBM system. I logged in and moved to the change password mask. Changed my password to something filling out the 12 character new password field. Logged out, and got the login mask again. With an eight character password field.
