- Password for Okta homed/sourced users:
- There is no password length limit.
- OKTA only stores the first 72 characters of the password and does not stop saving a password with more than 72 characters.
- Password for SWA Apps:
- The Max Length for a password for SWA is based on the third-party password policy they have in place. For Example - GitHub has 128 Max Length meaning 128 would be the max when entering a password in on Okta.
- This does NOT apply to accounts that authenticate to Okta using credentials validated against a 3rd party service (Delegated Authentication to AD/LDAP, Social Authentication, etc.)
