in reply to Re: Invalid Password (fixed)
in thread Invalid Password

I didn't realise at the time that PM restricted passwords to 8 characters and gave myself a longer one. The characters come easily to my fingers, but if I put in the longer password, I can't log in. Before the week-end, I was able to. Are longer passwords now distinguished from 8 character ones? Something has certainly changed, but I see no Tidings on the subject.

Regards,

John Davies

    Even you seem to be able to log in successfully, which is what was "(fixed)". If you find it difficult to stop at 8 characters, then simply edit your profile and re-set your password (which will then be truncated at 10 characters, since that was also "(fixed)").
