    I know it’s annoying that the password “doesn’t match”, but … a 128 character limit?! I’d like to see THAT fully utilized lol.

    (PS: the sentence above is exactly 128 characters, just for a comparison.)

    …and I bet once you want to change it you get the “your new password can not be the old password” error message just because.

      An acquaintance of mine has a 36 characters long passcode for his tablet that he manually puts in every time he wants to use it.

      And you can use password managers to make secure passwords without ever having to input them yourself.

        That is a very good idea if you want to disincentivise yourself from using your tablet

          He doesnt use it outside of school stuff and even then prefers to write things on paper, I dont think that he has to make disincentives.

      I mean there is bitwarden, which literally can generate you strong random unique passwords for each site. Not really hard these days, I personally have unique one for every site but cap mine around 36 characters when generating passwords. Depends on the website tho.

      My favorite was when I changed my password and they allowed different restrictions on the change password screen than they did when logging in. I changed my password to a 24 character one but log in screen only allows for max 16. I think they were truncating somewhere but I could not figure it out. Also could not change it again as it said it was incorrect.
