New version does not allow long passwords?


Recommended Posts

After the latest update I can no longer log into my account using the Mac desktop app. When I display the password in the text box I can see that digits 24+ have been cut off.

Why does the new version no longer support long passwords?

How long a password do you want to use ?

Putting quantum computers aside, a good password (upper/lower/numbers/symbols) of 15 digits today is unbreakable in realistic scenarios. With each additional digit cracking time further grows exponentially. AFAIK 24 digits is beyond any foreseeable cracking technology. Even if you use a passphrase (with less complex content) 24 is more than enough to be safe.

More important is the use of 2FA in addition to the password, because it adds a dynamic cipher to the static password.
