I seem to be having an issue logging in to Beehaw from a browser. I’ve tried Firefox and Chrome on Android and Windows, and Safari on an ipad. I either get a spinning circle or no change on the login button. I’ve tried disabling all of my extensions, but it doesn’t make a difference.

I’m able to access it through Jerboa, but Jerboa’s still pretty buggy for me.

Has anyone else run into this? Could this just be an issue with the influx of new users?

    Ho I found why it wasn’t working when using my password manager: the password length must not be higher than 60 characters. When typing/pasting a value manually in the password field, the web page automatically « trims » the excess I guess, but when using auto-fill with a password manager, something gets broken. I changed my password to one with a length of 60 (was using 128 before) and now it logs in correctly every time with my password manager.

      That might be it, I usually have a default password length in the 70s. I’ll try that after work and see what happens

      Update: This actually worked. I was able to log in on Firefox by copy/pasting, changed my password to under 60 characters, and now I can log in everywhere without a problem. There’s a chance it was a coincidence, since I hadn’t tried logging in for a day or so, but it’s definitely working now. Thanks for this; I never would have thought of it on my own.
