I'm trying to set windows to remember the credential of a network drive. However everytime it used the wrong credentials. After some inspection in the credential manager it happears that the password saved is only 8 characters long, while the original password is 55 characters long (I know, it's long, but I don't think it is that excessive).
Even manually inserting the credentials doesn't seem to work the password is always stored as 8 chars, so is my password too long for windows to handle?
EDIT : If you want to know how I know that it is 8 chars long: when I edit the entry in the credential manager it shows 8 dots as password. However I've actually noticed that it shows 8 dots for every stored password, even the ones that work, so I guess it's some kind of prection from windows.
However, when I turn my computer on it tells me that the credentials for the network unit are wrong and it prompts new credentials. In the box there are 14 dots in the password box, but I don't know if that is also supposed to be some sort of "placeholder" text
