Hello, and thank you for reading my post. I recently modified my Apple ID Password to a very strong password containing 32 characters. When I try to log into this discussions group with that particular Apple ID, I can't because the website won't accept the password? Wouldn't all of Apple's sites accept the same password?
Is there a maximum number of characters for a password in this discussion group?
Thanks
Haven't seen anything about password length limits but you don't need one that long. A strong password is at least 12 characters, mix of upper and lower case letters, at least one number, and t least one special character, the shift-number characters.
Those are unbreakable except for certain agencies.
I respect your 32 character password and use one myself. I'd prefer >40 characters if Apple would let me.
Regarding your actual question, I was able to log in here with my 32 character password. I hope you got it resolved!
What makes you believe that 32 characters is remotely necessary? As Ralph indicates, a shorter password is equally secure, in realistic terms. Keep in mind that even if some hacker set up a script to repeatedly try random passwords on your account, they're never going to get in because there are limits on the number of times one can enter an incorrect password before being blocked on any decent system. You can have a much shorter password, and as long as a human can't guess it from what is publicly known about you, it's secure.
I have a similar issue. My Cisco network was preset and it is a nightmare to change. It is 64 characters. I have all my devices running on, but when we changed one of the iPads to the new os7 is only accepts 32 characters ... Has anyone else run into this? Or are we the last of the horrendous pass codes.
Maximum Number of Characters for Password??
