iPhone wireless password

Is it just me or will the iPhone not let you input a wireless password less than 8 characters? Trying to join a network that has a 7 character password and the join button does not light up until I add an 8th character.

WPA passwords should be 8 characters minimum I think. My N95 won't enable the Next button until I've entered at least 8 characters for a password.

But the point is that WPA allows less than 8 on routers - the SKY routers come with a default WPA password of 7 for example - and I know some places like hot spots have a short password. I hope they fix this in an upcoming update as it's not possible to ask everyone to change their wireless security just for me!

Are you sure its only 7? My default Sky password is 8.

In PSK mode you need an 8 character password minimum.

I joined one with a 5 letter password (not sure if it was WEP or WPA) and had no problems
