Maximum number of characters a password for a post/page can have?
-
Hi there! Both of me and my friend are currently using WordPress; we just knew by chance that if she add a long password, the website automatically remove characters till there are only 19 – 20 left, once she has published her post. Mine still works fine with long password, no matter how many characters there are.
May I ask what can be the factor that causes this? We use same theme, create the site somewhat at the same time.
Thanks for reading,
Have a nice day!

Hi there,
Post passwords cannot be more than 20 characters, no. This is a database limitation that comes from the WordPress software itself. See:

On what site are you able to set a post password that’s more than 20 characters long?
