Live password length limits on Xbox360

Hi.

I had to change the password for my windows live account. I could not then logon on Xbox 360 of course. I had to logon there with the new password, but I cannot use the same password on Xbox 360. It seems to me that when I write the password it stops accepting
new characters at some position. Does XBOX 360 really have limitations for password length? I could change the password again and use shorter password, but it seems to me little awkward with all that "focus" on security.

Can you help? Do I need to change password again?

Thank you

Jan

Long passwords not supported on Xbox360, but works on XboxOne/Pc

I'd recently changed my password to something 19 characters long. However, when prompted to enter password on Xbox360 it stops accepting characters at some point (12-15ish chars?) and authentication fails. I'll eventually care enough to change to a shorter
password, but Microsoft really needs to either:

• Allow longer password entry on Xbox360, or
• Limit length of passwords to shortest allowed

 

Password Length Cap on Xbox360 Causing Error

It is known that the xbox 360 has a 16 character limit. You will have to shorten the password length in order to get it to work properly on the Xbox 360.
