I've tried with another one (user azerty and password ra) and it doesn't work. I put azertyqsdf as paswword and I have the same... But if I put azerty as password it don't... let's count the number of letters... roniosko : 8, rooniosko : 9, ra : 2, azertyqsdfd : 10, azerty : 5 I think the size is important, not the extension fact. I think all characters after the 8th letter is ignored. Anybody confirms ?
