could i change the bms password to 12345678 ?

[syssi]

The 1234 password should be accepted now. Please give it a try!

thanks, so quick at most 4 now ？ It seems I won’t be able to link to the BMS if I change the password to more than 4 digits

Do you know which password lengths are supported in general?

Do you know which password lengths are supported in general?

I currently have a 8 character password set and it was functional. The new change, (min=4, max=4), is a breaking change for at least me and likely others.

I think an acceptable interim compromise would be to allow a range of 4 to 8 characters

Thanks for your feedback! I will revert the change because a 4 digit password won't work either at the moment.
