Is it possible to enter Hex passwords as such? I would expect that anything that accepts alpha-numeric characters would accept hex.
But limiting the character set for each entered digit would limit the entropy for the cryptographic hash, making it easier to brute-force guess, given the same password length. It might take only 100-years to crack, instead of 1,000-years. :-)
Yes, exactly. That's what I'm saying. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
