Length of username and password

#1 Post by garnold » 06 Jul 2019, 19:53

I'm trying to get my device connected to my QIoT system. This system generates the MQTT device username and password. The creds it produces are really long and ESPEasy cannot store them. I realize this is more of an edge case the normal usernames and passwords would not be this long, but I needed to ask to get this project off the ground. Thank you!

Longer variables would render a completely new settings structure and that is not trivial. It would effect everyone. How long are these passwords/usernames?

"username": 35 characters
"password": 37 characters

Again, edge case here and I realize it's kind of strange. I'm also working from the other side and seeing if I can change how long they are when created.

I edited your post to remove the passwd/username.
All we need to know is the length of them.

Thank you but I realized that I was posting to a public location and those get random generated when called so new ones have already been created 👍

Still, very cool of you to look out for your fellow coder 😄
