Odd password field question


Question

If you were to copy and paste "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" into a password field that only accepts 27 characters, would the value of the of the password be "The quick brown fox jumps o" or  "fox jumps over the lazy dog"? Google searches are not proving useful in this case.

It would be: The quick brown fox jumps o

 

The start of the sentence / text is always pasted in first. That could differ if your computer is set to use a language that reads from right to left however. Certainly on languages that read from left to right it's the start of the sentence / text that is pasted in first.

Thanks for the help. I figured as much but I wanted to be sure. I started using long passphrases with my password manager and was curious about the result when copy/pasting into password fields.
