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.

    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

        In the mean time I guess that you could copy the 1st 60 characters of your password to login.

        Edit - you can go to the lemmy github if you to air your grievance over the restriction of password length.

        On a personal note, how much extra protection does a 80+ length give over a 60 character one¿?

          Depends on nothing I give a shit about. I always go well over the bridge. My paranoia exists by choice, not reason.
