Website allows longer passwords than game

#1 Post by Forgetful »

The input fields for the Online Profile in the main menu seem to take at most 20 characters as input. They give no feedback when reaching that limit. The website allows you to pick passwords that are longer than 20 characters making it impossible to connect in-game. The easiest fix would probably be to limit password length on the website to 20 characters as well.

I would recommend increasing the max character length on passwords. Length is the most effective criterion for preventing brute force cracking, but there's an unfortunate trend these days to limit passwords to short lengths (sometimes as little as 8 characters) while requiring you to use a bunch of numbers and symbols that make the password hard to remember.
