If you think 64 characters is too long, you're thinking about passwords incorrectly.
Mary.had.a.little.lamb.l2ittle.lamb.little.lamb That's not 64 or more characters, but that's the type of password you should be using if not able to to use random characters via a password manager. Whatever phrase floats your boat separated by special characters and a number inserted (not substituted) into one or more words. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Hoppes" <mattli...@rivervalleyinternet.net> To: "Ubiquiti Users Group" <ubnt_users@wispa.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2017 11:43:17 AM Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] Ubiquiti out of step password rules Who in their right mind will type in a 64 character password?

Given that it's a hash, the size of the input should be irrelevant as only the hash is being stored anyway. I believe Unimus has tested with 500 character passwords, though it's not necessarily a limit. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Craig via Ubnt_users" < ubnt_users@wispa.org > To: "Ubiquiti Users Group" < ubnt_users@wispa.org > Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2017 11:38:06 AM Subject: Re: [Ubnt_users] Ubiquiti out of step password rules Hey Guys, We increased the max password length in 5.6.1 when the password hashing algorithm was changed. Current max length should be 63 characters.
