Nobody should be using RDP, it has been swiss cheese since it was created.
All fine and dandy .. got any realistic alternatives?
Probably VNC (lol).
I'd rather use something built into windows than use 3rd party.
Same for MacOS. I wouldnt install an RDP-compatible server on it.
Realistically, it should be assumed RDP is insecure, so use it via VPN.
I think I had to use that once at work. Is it the thing that only allows passwords with like 6 letters or something?
No. It’s Remote Desktop.
The password length isn't limited when logging in?
No. I have no idea what would limit password length other than a bad systems admin
TIL there's no password limit on the application and it's the admin who sets the password limit. No idea wtf our admin was thinking. Wow..
