    Yeah, but I would expect that they have the hardware to increase the field size. It's a simple as changing the field definition ex. varchar(25) instead of varchar(12). For password length limit is it possible that they are using tokenization? I am assuming not, and that it is simply plan text, or they check length first then hash.

      It's not a question of hardware, it's a question of bad developers.

        True, I was implying that the reason they limited it was because they didn't have the hardware to support the total number of end users but that's because I was being generous to the developers. In reality you are most likely correct.
