The eBay password limit is 256 characters.

They made the mistake of mentioning this when I went to change my password.

Guess how many characters my eBay password has?

I'm not sure what you're implying with this. But how did you dig this up anyway?

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

255=-1, 256=0
btw, the internet never forgets

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 2 points 2 months ago

Oh you mean that the number 256 overflows into 0 in 8-bit range. My joke was leaning more into the idea that when you use all 256 possible bit combinations (1111 1111), it can represent -1 in signed integer formats. Even though 255 is the highest number you can directly represent, there are still 256 total combinations, including zero, so IMO, the joke works.

Just paste it in here and I count the characters for you.
