Lenghth of generated password (0.6.1 beta)

[samstgt]

The length of the generated password is only like the choosen length until a from the hash-algorithm specific lenght.

My character set:
1234567890qwertzuiopü+asdfghjklöä#<yxcvbnm,.-!§$%&/()=?QWERTZUIOPÜ*ASDFGHJKLÖÄ'>YXCVBNM;:_|\

Hash-Algorithm: HMAC-MD5

If I choose a lenght over 20, the generated password sticks with the 20 characters.
For Hash-Algorithm SHA-256 is the max. length 10 characters.

Hope it's easy to fix, because the possibility to use specific characters is great.

Hi Samstgt,
Glad to hear umlaut characters work in generated passwords.

Thanks for reporting the length issue. I will fix it before 0.6.1 is released.
In case you are interested, the reason it's occuring is because the radix you've chosen -- 94 -- encodes an enormous amount of data in each character. There's probably not enough data to enocde more than 10-20 characters.
