Some guy out west once said "640K is enough" He was wrong too! :-)

Even if it appears that 20 is enough, why limit? If someone wants to use 123 characters why stop them? Or is it because the post-it notes under the keyboards aren't wide enough for more than 20 characters??? LOL!

I suppose that might be possible but I just cannot resist asking: WHY?

The only thing that makes a password secure is length. Not special characters or requiring a number or a lowercase and an upper case. None of that, only length. Why restrict it?  I'm truly curious!

We moved to password level two (128 byte passwords).

I seem to remember that we can customize our signon screen and so limit password entry to some smaller field size (like 20) and make the rest of the field no entry/no display but still keep the 128 input buffer size to make the signon pgm happy.
