[dzek (varez)]

Hi

is there any limit for login length?

I tried;

"login 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940411111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111134444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 test";

and that did nothing, so I guess there is.

okay, i think i will have to test it by myself ...

and my question should be:

is there length limit, and if it is, how much chars i can set as login?

If I remember correctly, chatbox line limit is 64 characters. People usually use chatbox to login. So if password was that long, they wouldn't be able to login with chatbox.

but its possible to set more via console, or my login gui.. and im thinking how much chars should i set in mysql database in varchar column

Set it to 128 or 64. I can't imagine people having that long passwords though. You can set a limit yourself and tell users "Password must be longer than 3 and shorter than 64 characters." It all depends how you like it. I would personally set the limit to 32. I guess nobody uses sentences for passwords.

hmm, okay, ill do that

I guess nobody uses sentences for passwords.

yea, even my bank account pass is less than 20
