PS: The explanations are indeed a bit confussing, but I'm not going to explain it in a better way to keep this somewhat away from "script kiddies" though

It is always 13. Though, nothing says this could be changed in the futur. Although I doubt it for backward compatibility reasons.

The password is "scrambled" for better security (so the API isn't called with the text password in plain sight). Although that didn't kept you from discovering it though, hehehe

But more importantly, the password is unicode because you can enter unicode characters. Remember that this also has implications of how the password is scrambled. Your pseudo-code is correct (appart from "0 to length" which should be "length-1") although lacks the big notice that all characters must be interpreted as unicode characters, as that is what they are, not as ascii characters.

(and this is also where one of those bugs were in old Plus! versions in regards to the "changing password")

PS2: And don't forget to destroy the handles of the key, hash and crypto provider.
