mbdungo Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 First, I only have one web hosting account! In other words, I just recreates my account.. It would be better to review my creation history that listed below:First registration, is on Johnny.But I move my account to Stevie.Now, I try to recreate my account in Stevie hoping the mild AJAX error would be fixed. And note that the password that I've used on all of those (re)creation have 18 characters, all alphabets are in lower case, and have two numbers. Here is the problem, every after the creation of my account, I always use Password Reset to get my password because all of my login attempts without resetting my password were always failed. Why it's happening?
Krydos Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I didn't write the account creation system, but I suspect it truncates the passwords sometimes when they are really long or maybe if they contain strange characters. I doubt you're going to create another account again, but if you do you could try starting with a shorter password using [A-Za-z0-9] to make it a bit simpler and let us know if it works any better. Obviously longer, randomer, more bizarre character passwords are stronger, but my guess would be that some characters are removed to prevent database injection. 1

After trying and waiting (because of brute force protection,) a lot of hours, I've guessed that my password with 18 characters, 16 alphabets all in all lower case without any special character, [a-z] and two numbers, [0-9] IS TRUNCATED TO 12 CHARACTERS.. The last 6 parts of the characters were cut! But believe me, I can change that truncated password to the previous password that had been truncated. Actually, last month, I am trying to test an specific username if it's available, but I accidentally created it with seven-numbers password. [0-9] But I already deleted it! And no problem about the login attempt or details.
