[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1615402, member: 56379"] Apple requires a password length of at least 8 characters (with other requirements): [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4232]Security and your Apple ID[/url] If you want to create a really long password (that you're almost never going to remember unless it is written down);)...I would say experiment. If you want a 32 character password...try a 32 character password...and see if it's accepted. Or if you REALLY want to experiment...try a 256 character password. If it's accepted (great for you if you really want a password this long). If it's rejected...try something shorter.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
