Don't know the answer to the maximum password length - I thought it was 256, you can file a bug report if you're only getting 17. Curious about which sites are requiring 20 char passwords - I use ebenefits.va.gov (portal to multiple sites), myhealth.va.gov etc., and have yet to find one that requires 20 chars or more. Biggest problem that I have with those sites are their security certificates are self issued and often are screwed up. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
