Yup, 25 for both, although there is no check on the maximum length of the username when processing the form, only a check to ensure it is 3 or more characters long. The 25 character limit for usernames is purely the maxlength of that particular input. Note, though that the M_USERNAME field can only hold 150 characters.
Only the characters I posted are not permitted in usernames & passwords.

| I need to increase the maximum number of characters allowed in a user name. The input field only lets us put in 25. I have a user with a long name of 26 characters. Where can I change this setting. I looked in register.asp but can't find the 25 character limiter. |

Nope, as I said, that field in the database can hold 150 characters.
