[β] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Can't login, it says my password is incorrect Edit: before someone tells me to put in my correct password, I use copy&paste from a password manager permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 years ago (3 children) Is your password longer than 60 characters? If so, you should know that your actual password was truncated to 60 chars at the time of account creation. You won't notice on the website because the login webform automatically truncates characters beyond the limit, but most 3rd-party apps don't do this because it's an undocumented thing. Basically, my advice would be to update the password in your password manager to be truncated to 60 characters and then try logging in with the app again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] impulse@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) What kind of maniac would use a password that's longer than 60 characters? I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client's webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 years ago What kind of maniac would use a password thatβs longer than 60 characters? permalink fedilink source parent [β] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) That was actually the thing, thanks a lot. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) Oh man, the feeling of solving an obscure issue on the first try without having to ask for any extra hints: chef's kiss.

Imo, the web UI shouldn't do that without at least warning the user. Such long passwords might be a corner-case, but if the UI changes the password in any way before submitting it to the server, I think the user should see a big fat red notification. What if an account was created using a different client? The user wouldn't be able to log in using the web-ui because the web-ui refuses to send the unmodified password? If the password is truncated server-side during account creation, the server should do the same during login, the UI or client wouldn't even have to know about it. permalink fedilink source parent
