NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules - Lemmy.World
Here is the text of the NIST sp800-63b
[https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b.html] Digital Identity Guidelines.
Any password length (within reason) and any character should be allowed. It’s going to be hashed and only the hash will be stored right? Length and character limits make me suspect it’s being stored in plain text.
Then you’re vulnerable to simple brute force attacks, which if paired with a dumped hash table, can severely cut the time it takes to solve the hash and reveal all passwords.
By any length I meant no maximum length. Obviously you don’t want to use a super short password.
