Hi, clockwise_bit here.

I might have fucked up something, or something might be wrong elsewhere, I don’t know. What I know is that I just tried to log in multiple times and I wasn’t able to make it past the login page. The message says wrong password, but I’m fairly certain I didn’t change it because I use a password manager and the history is untouched. I doubt something happened to the db because syncthing (which I use to share the db with all my devices) didn’t log it’s update.

I cannot request a password reset from the form because, my bad, I didn’t put an email when registering. I was sure nothing like this would happen. Still, would it be possible to check if everything’s alright on your side? @nutomic@lemmy.ml @dessalines@lemmy.ml

Thanks in advance for your time. Shouldn’t it be possible to do anything, I’ll just use this account for the forseeable future.

    Ok, I tried making another account with the same password, then leaving and relogging. It works, so…something happened, but I don’t know what. If nor syncthing nor keepassxc noticed a corruption, I might have a serious coherence problem in my hands.

      How long was the password? We recently added a limit to the front end but its at I think 80 chars.

        128 characters, I re-counted them to be sure. If the password is too long, does the lemmy-ui part notify the limit to the user or is the input just truncated backend-side?

          That was it then. We added limits on both the front and back end but it hasn’t been deployed yet.

            Huh, so I never entered the full password.
            I just tried forcing the field visible, and the password is being truncated at 60 chars.
            Damn dots, I didn’t notice. Also, keepass autotyper doesn’t know the password isn’t being inserted, so that explains why nothing made sense. I feel better knowing the pass db integrity is not compromised. Thanks for that, really!

            I know I’m repetitive, but if it’s not a planned functionality and unless there is a reason I’m unaware of that explains why it’s counterproductive, giving the user the ability to temporarily show the password in the input field might help in these cases.
