Instance? I don't understand what you're saying.
I meant, I have my account on lemm.ee and tried to login on lemmy.world β so the dummy was strong in me.
I should probably add the instance logo to the login screen. Really the whole login and signup flow needs a revamp though
I was doing it late night / early morning so I assumed it was a βme issueβ but if there are more situations like this, I guess, just instances logos wonβt help β this might add some visual clutter.
Maybe, no list with some default choices and definitely no automatic selection on one of them, but an empty field β empty field always gives a strong signal that there is something missing..
Oh, and the toast notification says something like βwrong username or passwordβ β so I didnβt even check the instance until like 7th try. This could get a little touch up too, just in case.
My theory is that Voyager can't handle an 80+ char PW and fails on it due to the proper.
Thanks, yeah it looks like the reason it doesn't work is lemmy-ui clips the password to 60 characters. So your password actually isn't 80 characters, it's 60. Which is a poor design on the part of Lemmy but is easy enough for Voyager to fix by mimicking that behavior and clipping the entered password to 60 characters.
Edit: It will be fixed in the next version, releasing now.
No where did I know about the limit. Limiting passwords so anachronistic and suicidal, I wonder who I school against exactly that...
Anyway, thank you for that and schooling me on that. LOL
In the mean time I guess that you could copy the 1st 60 characters of your password to login.
Edit - you can go to the lemmy github if you to air your grievance over the restriction of password length.
On a personal note, how much extra protection does a 80+ length give over a 60 character oneΒΏ?
Depends on nothing I give a shit about. I always go well over the bridge. My paranoia exists by choice, not reason.
I've changed my password to 60 chars. Voyager still doesn't log in for whatever reason.
That's not it. I do put my URL in correctly as well as my PW.
When you hit the "login" button in Voyager, it asks you to choose your account's server. The default is lemmy.world, but your account is on the sh.itjust.works instance. So when it asks for your server, you will have to hit "other" and type in sh.itjust.works, then enter your username and password.
I expect this is the issue, because I am also on CalyxOS without issues.
I do exactly that correctly. Thanks though but this is some other error.
80 characters for a social media account is overkill, no?
No.
Are you custodian of the blueprints to Ft Knox?
No, why would I? There's no gold left there.
They must have used a 79 character password
Doesn't matter. Software was Closed Source and answered to someone other than the dipshit running it.

Have you tried clearing the apps cache and see if it works for you?
Done. Nada.
