Re: maximum password length

But that's for the encrypted version of the password. My answer is somewhere in the documents at RSA. I'll keep looking. Thanks

Re: maximum password length

It turns out the only limitation for password length is the html password input box which on a standard zencart install is set to 40 characters. The php function used to encrypt the password really has no length limit.
