Yes. That's obvious if we have passwords longer than 8 chars :) > If that is a case we might have some very confused users.

As far as I understand we will use 'masterkey'. People who are typing will not have too hard problem to type one more letter. The worst case are scripts where 'masterke' is used. Looks like this will become a lesson for a people who: - use default password in production, - type it in scripts (for _default_ password is not big trouble in fact), - abbreviate it in undocumented way :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
