What's the maximum password size I can get on SQL Server 2012/2014? I was unable to find this information online.

I mean SQL Server credentials itself, not passwords inside tables.

Thanks a lot

  • Can you clarify whether it's SQL Server or SQL Azure your talking about, please? They are different products with differing constraints and abilities. Commented Feb 26, 2015 at 10:50

Passwords are case-sensitive. Passwords should always be at least 8 characters long, and cannot exceed 128 characters. Passwords can include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and most non-alphanumeric characters. Passwords cannot contain single quotes, or the login_name.
