• TooOld: I have this set for a year (in seconds).
• PwdFile: passwords file... you'll want include this file in your back-ups.

On password length

As of early 2023, Blockchain.com charts the total hash rate of the Bitcoin network approaching 300*M*TH/s. Interpreting this as the number a passwords it can test per second, I estimate the number of passwords it could test in two years:

# Passwords attempted in two years:
M         = 1_000_000
T         = M*M
YEAR      = 60*60*24*365
PASSWORDS = 2*YEAR*300*M*T
# There are 94 graph characters in ASCII.
# I can estimate the password length needed to cover this number of PASSWORDS:
Math.log(PASSWORDS,94).ceil #=> 15
# Excluding the quotes in graph, it's still:
Math.log(PASSWORDS,91).ceil #=> 15

So that's how come to a default password length of 15.

Trouble shooting on upgrades

Edit your configuration file's :Salt value to what it was set in your previous configuration. Also, the :LongPwd value changed from 14 to 16, so if your long password length was 14 or 15, you'll have to enter that as it's now considered short and set :Salt to "".
