[0.82] Personal Identification Codes

my PIC is apparently 17 characters long , i wrote the last char twice, and i get in by typing it twice.

Did you un-highlight the last character with the right arrow OR switch to (un)capitalized and reswitch back? Otherwise, it will overwrite the first one. For example, if you have "FF" somewhere in your PIC (e.g., ________FF______), then if you input the first F but leave it's asterisk highlighted, the second F will overwrite that first F. So in that example, your PIC would actually be ________F______. A similar thing happens if you wanted "FE" or "FD" instead. Leaving that asterisk highlighted makes you input just a E or D instead of the two letters.

It is more obvious if the first letter of the letter combination you're using isn't a C, F, I, L, etc. For example, if you wanted to put in "DF", then you'd clearly see that asterisk that was your D, turn into an E.
