I recently changed my password and discovered that the maximum length on Pinside is 16 characters. The best passwords are longer phrases and sentences rather than shorter strings of random characters. They are harder to crack and easier to remember. I've been switching all of my passwords to these longer versions. It would be great if Pinside could increase the possible password size as well. Thanks!

I guess I will if I don’t get a response. I thought this was the way to suggest features. I would assume Robin checks these out every once in a while.

It is a social media site. Why not have it secure? I’ve known people whose Facebook passwords were hacked. The point is to enable best password practice with easy to remember passwords.

I don’t know. When I recently went to change my password, I couldn’t get beyond the 16th character.

It's also impossible to remember. And, a 32-40 character sentence of common words, believe it or not, is much more difficult to crack than a shorter random string of letters, numbers and symbols. Anyway, whether it is easier to hack or not, the point is that I am trying to switch all of my passwords to sentences / phrases that are easier to remember. All sites allow me to do this except Pinside so far. It would just be nice to have the option.

Everyone has different ways to manage passwords. My simple request is to allow people like me who want to use sentences or phrases the ability to do so.

Fair enough. You’re correct. The request is simple. I have no idea how simple or not coding it would be.

For those who don’t care to have a secure password on Pinside, just choose Password123 and be happy.

I use a password keeper app for all of my important financial stuff. For less important social media sites, I prefer a slightly simpler method. That doesn’t mean I don’t want security. But I would like options on how to manage it which for me require longer passwords. And while it is unlikely that anyone would want to hack an account on here, there are scammers who try to take advantage on this site so why not try to be safe rather than sorry.
