1 year agoI mean there needs to be a limit, because hashing a password is, by design, resource intensive. Also, Lemmy uses bcrypt for password hashing which supports up to 72 bytes, so the limit can’t be any higher than that. It should probably be indicated somewhere though, I agree. I was also caught off guard by it but realistically 60 characters is more than enough… it’s more entropy than the hash you get out of it, if it’s random.
You gotta tap the status bar at the very top of the screen, where the time and battery indicator are displayed.
