Titel: Password limitations
Beitrag von John Motyer am 31.01.22 um 06:23:58
Good morning, Holger.

What are your Forums password limitations?

I reset my forums password yesterday, and I have logged in successfully numerous times since then, including now.

However, when I try to change my profile, when it prompts me for my password, YaBB keeps telling me that my password is incorrect, even though I was able to successfully log into the forums.

My password consists of 70 random characters (my default for all websites that allow passwords that long), upper-case, lower-case, numbers & symbols.

Thank you in advance & have a pleasant day.

Tschüß,

John

Hi John,

the password length is restricted to a maximum of 40 characters.
The settings does not allow to go over this limit.

Kind regards
Reimar

No, there is still something seriously wrong.

I changed my password to the forums, with my new password being 40-characters long.  I can login to the forums successfully, however, as before, when I try to change my profile & it prompts me to enter my password to change my profile, it keeps telling me that my password is incorrect.

ups ... seems to be a bug  :'( within the forum software.
If you can change your pw again, we prefer using minor 20 characters.

I tried 32-characters on my way down to 20, just to see if 32 would work too, but it didn't.

20-characters worked fine, though.  Thank you.

Have a great day, Sir.
