On: An analysis of the Adobe password dump

but what if adobe only checks the first 12 characters entered? if so, then your "whole" password needed to log in was in fact leaked.

When logging in to Adobe, but that's a password reset away. They won't be able to get into any sites which allow more than 12 characters which, while it probably doesn't help me much in practice, may at least serve to frustrate a couple people who try to mess with my accounts. It's still a major net negative.
