Is it possible to enter Hex passwords as such?
I would expect that anything that accepts alpha-numeric characters would accept hex.
I mean whether I can just type the hex password in the entry field, and whatever will know that I'm typing hex, not ascii. Be it network manager, wicd, android, etc.
That would depend on what needs the passwords. WiFi gear generally accepts either. My access point will accept 8-63 ASCII characters or 8-64 hex digits.
Then we have a problem. If I enter, say, 60 hex digits, which is after all a plain ascii string, if the password field thinks it is ascii, it will be a very poor password, with only 16 values per byte. - -- Cheers Carlos E.
