I have both a mini & a MacBook Pro. I don't know how I screwed them up, but both of them are nagging me for iCloud & Keychain passwords.
I plan to nuke the hard drive on each one & do a clean install of Yosemite.
This gives me an opportunity to create complex passwords for logon, iCloud & Keychain.
So, my main question is; is there a maximum length for passwords that OS X will accept? You know, 16 or 32 or 256 characters or whatever. I suppose that ALL printable characters are permitted, right? Since Apple is sold all over the world, I suppose that Greek, Russian, Hebrew, etc. characters are also permitted, right? Speaking of Keyboard Viewer, my laptop shows only English but my mini keyboard shows English &, I think, German. How do I get additional keyboards to show up in Keyboard Viewer?
