It’s infuriating to create a “strong password” with letters, numbers, upper and lowercase, symbols, and non-repeating text… but it has to be only 8 to 16 characters long.
That’s not a “strong” password, random characters or not.
Is there a limitation that somehow prevents these sites from allowing more than 16 characters?
I’m talking government websites, not just forums. It seems crazy to me.
Why not store the whole thing?
I’m joking of course, but the reason would be the database column is 8 characters.
If only there was a SQL command that could alter an existing table…
