Password generation is limited to 99 characters

[betsythefc]

When generating a password, I can not make a password greater than 99 characters. This seems to be a limitation of qtpass and not pass, as I can generate 128 character long passwords no problem.

It's a limit of the default of the number box even.
Thanks for taking the time to create this issue!
This is super easy to fix and will be fixed in the next release.

However there are some issues with both the pass and QtPass password generators respectively #264

I would love a more secure password generation method. I made a comment on what I'd like to see on #264.

Thanks!

To be clear, even if you limited yourself to numeral you would only need ~77 digits to achieve 256 bits of "security". A random password with more than 99 characters is the definition of security theatre. This request should only be accommodated if it does not impact aesthetics and basically any other consideration ; )

Can we please get this ?
I want to impress my friends with a 2mb password.

Whats the point of having 2 Million characters as a password? There won't be any password field accepting more than maybe 500 Characters. If you want a random string with this length, there are other possibilities than building this into a password manager.

just the fact that you can and boast about it, and that there are some password fields that accept them

This wouldn't be hard to fix, even for a relatively novice programmer. I would suggest locking the thread to prevent further comments.
