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.

    80 characters for a social media account is overkill, no?

    I had sorta same problem yesterday…

    It was actually my fault tho, I was trying to login with the right username and right password, but on the wrong instance — so, just sayin…

        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 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.

                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
