minus-squareexpr@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoAt minimum you need to limit the request size to avoid DOS attacks and such. But obviously that would be a much larger limit than anyone would use for a password.
minus-squareowsei@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoAlso rate of the requests. A normal user isn’t sending a 1 MiB password every second
minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoWhat’s a sensible limit. 128 bytes? Maybe 64?
minus-squareowsei@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI’d say 128 is understandable, but something like 256 or higher should be the limit. 64, however, is already bellow my default in bitwarden
