May have just found out why I’ve historically had issues logging into my Lemmy accounts.
I was able to create my account fine using a password 65-ish characters in length using letters, numbers and special characters. Then immediately I couldn’t login! I use a passwords vault to create/save my accounts fully before I enter my details into the site so the details are correct.
Upon resetting my password and trying a new one with the same parameters I was advised my password was too long (60 max I think it said?). I moved it to 58 characters and also removed special characters then I was able to login fine.
This may have been going on for sometime and across other instances because I was having lots of issues making lemmy accounts before on lemmy.ml.
Anyone else run into this?
I’ll do some more testing and get back ya on this maybe I’m jumping the gun.
my posts is also confusing because I crossposted it, this happened on lemmy.ca but I believe it’s happened elsewhere just not confirmed.
When were those added?
Few months ago I think.
