Hi, I created this account to check out lemmy. When I created it I left no E-Mail address and I entered a long password (90-100 chars) containing only letters and numbers which was generated by my password manager. However, when I now try to log in from another device or browser, it just tells me the password is incorrect. I still have access to the account because it’s still logged in to the browser session I used to create it. I also tried changing my password to a shorter one in the settings, but it doesn’t let me do that because it again thinks my password is wrong.

Did anyone else encounter something similar? Could there be an issue with using extra long passwords? What can I do to fix this? I also lost my actual first account https://lemmy.ml/u/ReliantGiant (what’s the correct way to refer to lemmy accounts?) to this problem…

    Right now the maximum amount of characters for passwords is 32 so that is probably what is triggering the error.
