Max saved password length?

[Stew Stryker]

I've been using the Connection->Store with password feature for years. (Yes, I know it's not exactly safe.)

We have recently started using longer passwords, up to 16 characters. It seems like PSD will not save connections with these longer passwords. I can still save shorter passwords and re-use them. But the long ones can't be used again once you exit PSD and restart. I guess the connection data gets saved when you exit?

We are running PSD V 10.0.5.1710

Thanks,

Stew

There is no maximum size for passwords in PL/SQL Developer. I tested this with a password of 16 characters long, and it works fine.

Are there any special characters in these long passwords?

No special characters.

It turned out that the directory where my user preferences are stored was set to read-only, so my password changes weren't getting saved.

Sorry for the misdirection.
