Password too long for XBOX 360

You can either shorten your password or create a shorter, app password which would be a second password you can use for the 360. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...count-app-passwords-and-two-step-verification

With the XBOX 360, there is a limitation of the characters for a password. It may be too long.

The xbox 360 does not accept passwords that are longer then 16 characters so if you password is longer then 16 characters then that is your problem and would need to change your password to something less then 16 characters.

Yes I am having the same **** issue. Changed my MS Account password a few weeks ago and this evening around midnight, I decided I wanted to watch some BSG from Amazon Prime. Went to login to my account and was first greeted with a "xbox isn't connected to
the internet", **** message, so I had to waste time forcing it to perform network tests, which, strangely (/s), it passed on the first go around with no input on my behalf (though remember that it seemingly couldn't do this before). I then went to enter the
new password (using that damned difficult-to-use keypad), only to be repeatedly told it was incorrect. Pissed off, I used the on-screen keyboard (thinking I wasn't using the keypad correctly, though I knew I was), but again, more errors. I then counted the
number of characters the console was accepting and discovered that it was only 16...my password is 25 characters! WTF?!?!

It took three calls to their phone support in shitholeistan before I could reach "Charles" (funny- "Charles" doesn't sound like a name you'd encounter in shitholeistan). I told him what was going on and his response was to chide me for having a long password.
Like seriously.

I told him I'm just going to make a fake account and the password for it will be "fuckmicrosoft". That's under the 16 character limit, right?

What kills me is that there is not a single warning on the screen warning you of any limitations on your password. MS- THIS IS 2018!!! 16 character passwords went out 15-20 years ago! We live in an era of 64-bit computing. What the **** good does it do to
have a MS Account with no limit (?) on the password, only to see your xbox account get virtually locked-out if you use more than 16 characters? This problem is artificial and can be fixed with a simple update, but nooooo...you think they'll do that?

**** it...I don't even game on this POS, I just use it to access Plex, Amazon Prime, and other video services. I think I'll just get a **** Roku.

FUMS.

All you have to do to fix this issue is to put a password into your account that is less then 16 characters.

The problem is that it has always been that way with the 360 limiting passwords to 16 characters.

As far as making any changes that affect the 360 console i do not think Microsoft is going to be doing that anymore since it is no longer supported. there will probably be no more updates to the system.
