About LinkBacksI am using an iPad password this long for Root and Mobile
************************************, however when I enter a shortened version of it, the iPad accepts it when being SSH'ed into.
Any ideas?

I think it is not security IOS issue - just one of IOS limitations.

I agree. iOS probably just cuts off the extra characters.
A password that long is completely unnessary. Even just a five letter word is extremely hard to crack.

I've just chosen that password so it syncs up with my "Lockscreen" password. Well I'm a bit paranoid. But too bad, and thanks for the explanation.
