Increase Password Length

Post by Lope »

And also option to save passwords for connections that use encryption. (even if the vnc file is not secure, should still be possible. VNC file can be stored in Truecrypt)

The password length is generally kept to 8 for cross and backward compatibility with other VNCs. Encryption is generally considered a separate issue from the traditional VNC password.

But I suppose it would be a nice option to have longer passwords for UltraVNC->UltraVNC connections.

If you use the secureplugin, the vnc password is replaced by the plugin password this can be longer.

Thanks. Good to know!
When you enter a password in the server Admin thats > 8chars. Instead of just beeping it should pop up a messagebox saying "Please encrypt for longer password".

Saving encrypted password would be nice also!
