My offline wallet has a around 25 character password for me private key starting with 6

wot if in the future blockchain and other sites shorten the password field to 10 characters will my wallet be doomed forever because at some time in the future i will sweep the funds from it

why would blockchain do it?

To give people more reasons to blame tehm when their coin disappear?

NO, they won't do it

Stop using third parties to either: generate or store your private keys. If you generate your own private keys and transactions, you generate some peace of mind for yourself knowing your control is about as good as it can be.

Yeah, will not happen. It would be a catastrophe. Pretty sure this was predicted for it to never become a problem.

due to the demand for extra security passwords will be longer and longer. so don't worry.
i can't imagine that any site or service will shorten the amount of characters.

That will never happen. There's no reason to limit the password length.
Besides you could always decrypt it off-site.
Do not worry about that.
