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 meant, I have my account on lemm.ee and tried to login on lemmy.world — 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 “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.

      That’s not it. I do put my URL in correctly as well as my PW.
