Password Requirement #149

Open junnie082 opened 1 year ago

junnie082 commented 1 year ago

Hello!! I have some questions creating new account. What are the illegal characters when creating passwords? Are all the characters that exist in this world available? Even the emoticons? Also, are there any limits on lengths in passwords?

Password requirement is what geth has right now as the password is essentially just passed on to geth using the RPC.

I'm not aware of any limitations wrt. the RPC itself, but there is a possibility some special characters might not work as expected.

I'd suggest making sure things work on some testnet account before using anything crazy for a real world one. Create the account using your password, and then check if you can send something out using a testnet node.
