Is there a password length limit for an email account password? We have a client that wants to use 64 character passwords.

This is Ignition 8.0.x.

Thanks!

Well I just tried creating a smtp profile and inputting 80 + chars for the password and it let me create it.

I can’t speak for how that works in a live active environment and any issues you might face.

I also did not attempt to test what the limit is.

I’d just try it and see what happens. worst case you can’t get the smtp profile to work and come back here for more info.
