See title. I was wondering what the max amount of inputs are for the passphrase for a brainwallet.

It is limited by what your brain can remember.

Brainwallet algorithm uses a hash function of entered data for creating the private key. That being said there might be a limit on the html textfield element in this implementation which I am not sure (way more than you can remember - probably something around half a million or more characters).

Note: This implementation has a minimum req.
