PIN longer than 16 digits

Question

I was wondering if there was any way to use an unlock PIN longer than 16 digits on android lollipop - in the settings it allows you to enter a PIN less than 17 digits. I would like to stay away from 3rd party lock screens if possible. I am running resurrection remix (Lollipop 5.1.1).



Thanks

Answer

Far as I know, no. Now of course wait for more answers but far as I know, if it is set to be 16 characters max it means it is a 128 bit variable. If that is all Android has saved for the PIN, then that is that.
