ReadyNAS incompatible with some micosoft accounts to access share

Hi,

thanks for replying. As I explained it's not a 32 character limitation though.
It limits to 31 characters.
Which in my opinion is most likely just a bug. Other platforms allow at least the full 32 characters. Example: unraid, qnap, synology, freenas etc.

Could anyone please open a ticket to get this fixed?

Sidenote on your off topic comments
It's not bad at all to log into Windows that way, especially if you're on multiple devices. Local accounts do not even add security anymore since ages and can be easily reset by individuals let alone state controlled agencies.

Also, unless you're not connected to the world at all, you're likely already having many accounts, like this one for Netgear but also Bank accounts, Android, Apple, Paypal, you name it.
It's obvious a company like Netgear should support standard authentication systems like this one.

Putting in NAS credentials IS a bad thing as well. Not just the added unecessary user interaction (likely leading to weak passwords / password strategies like password managers for many) but also since it doesn't add to security.
Malware can easily intercept your credentials and net use them.
Since you can't even connect two sessions (one read and one r/w) without disconnecting it's just a pain and likely to exposing your credentials than just having a solid baseline security level and a decent backup strategy.
Just looking at Netgears security history should actually make you aware that entering the credentials manually is the least of the issues. Even the routers have been plagued by severe and critical security issues literally multiple times a year and in some cases affecting more than 50 models - many of which will be never updated by the end users on the devices.

So honestly I'm more worried about where that 31 character limit is coming from.
