Ventrino Forum for Walker Scripts _ Ventrino FAQ _ Why does the password field show too many characters?

Posted by: Martyn Dec 30 2005, 03:13 AM

PROBLEM
When I entered the password I entered 8 characters now when I go back to check it I can count 10, why?

EXPLANATION
The idea of blanking out the password is to stop people from guessing what it is, some systems will also obfuscate the number of characters too so this is not unusual.
