Hello, I hope you can help me.
I enabled sFTP on an Azure Blob Storage Container. But the SSH password that is created by default is 88 characters.
The usage of this sFTP is to load photos taken by an IP camera, but this camera accepts a password of max. 16 characters. I am sure there are other devices that have this limitation.
In the Azure Portal I dont see options to manually change this password. What are my alternatives? Thank you!

@VIAL INGENIEROS Firstly apologies for the delay in responding here! I am checking on this thread
Thank you Sumarigo! not being able to change the password to less characters is a stopper for our project.

Hi, Using scanners, there's close to no one supporting 88 character pw's. My newly ordered Brother ADS-1700W for uploading to AZURE supports up to 33 pw characters. Please advice! /Magnus

Its a shame, I cant use this service without flexibility on (1) Manually changing the password or (2) Generate password of 16 characters.

Same problem here... e.g. EPSON Workforce Scanner: No way of entering such a long password...

I tried to use Azure native SFTP to receive files from a vendor. They provide a browser interface to configure the destination FTP that allows a maximum of 30 characters for a password.
As such, I had to use a different solution; I ended up using this: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/sftp-creation-template

We cannot use the Microsoft SFTP with our application due to the excessive password length. I strongly suggest Microsoft provides an alternative. For our particular case the limit was 80 (!) chars and yet alas that's still 8 chars too little for Microsoft's security :|

Still, many IP CAMERA, and SCANNER products have an SFTP PW length of 16 characters. Please reduce the PW to 16 characters.

Upvoting with thread.
We are facing the same issue , our vendor is not supporting SFTP passwords with a lengths > 50 chars . So we are not able to use the Azure SFTP solution

Any option to set the password to 24 characters?
Still, many IP CAMERA, and SCANNER products have an SFTP PW length of 16 characters. Please reduce the PW to 16 characters. Or do you have any option to set it to 16 characters?
