twgh Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hello, Is there a way that a maximum length or number of characters is set when a client is creating an account? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhiting9275 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I would think this would only be limited by the encrypted size in the database 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twgh Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Thank you @twhiting9275 for responding. However, will it be possible for lack of maximum number of characters to be used for a DOS attack? 2 hours ago, twhiting9275 said: I would think this would only be limited by the encrypted size in the database Edited December 9, 2020 by twgh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeCo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I highly doubt a long password causing a DoS attack is something you need to worry about. Loading this page probably has more characters in the html sent to the browser than most very long passwords. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put some proper protection in against password failures and you're good 🙂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
