help.chm doesent mention anything about it, and search give me zero information...

is it possible to use non ASCII characters in passwords?
could it cause various problems? (inability to encrypt/decrypt data files? corrupt ftp.url or password? etc.?)

the maximum password length is? 50,60,120 characters ?

Thanks

non printable ASCII characters will probably not work, if you can enter it into the password field most likely it will work.

I dont think it would cause any problems, but this hasn't been tested. I don't see any reason why it would cause problems since the password is encrypted and stored in a plain text method.

There is no defined limit, if the password is too long it probably will be trunicated though.
