Password IS correct. I can log in on my laptop and in Jerboa, which I am attempting to be rid of for its tortuous typing abuse programming.

I attempt to log in to voyager with the correct 80+ char password and it says its wrong. It is correct in the copy & pasting. I am on CalyxOS.

      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 “me issue” but if there are more situations like this, I guess, just instances logos won’t help — 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 — empty field always gives a strong signal that there is something missing…

        Oh, and the toast notification says something like “wrong username or password” — so I didn’t 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 one¿?

                  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.
