Windows 7 Do Password Dots Indicate the Exact Number of Characters in My Password?

I'm in the midst of TRYING to remember my login password. My question is - do the number dots that appear in the password box represent the actual number of characters in the actual password?

Are you talking about the Windows login screen? If so, yes.
