Can't log in to Voyager on my CalyxOS (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Instance? I don't understand what you're saying.

When you hit the "login" button in Voyager, it asks you to choose your account's server. The default is lemmy.world, but your account is on the sh.itjust.works instance. So when it asks for your server, you will have to hit "other" and type in sh.itjust.works, then enter your username and password.

I expect this is the issue, because I am also on CalyxOS without issues.

I do exactly that correctly. Thanks though but this is some other error.

I should probably add the instance logo to the login screen. Really the whole login and signup flow needs a revamp though

My theory is that Voyager can't handle an 80+ char PW and fails on it due to the proper.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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¿?

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

That's not it. I do put my URL in correctly as well as my PW.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

80 characters for a social media account is overkill, no?

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No.

Are you custodian of the blueprints to Ft Knox?

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, why would I? There's no gold left there.

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They must have used a 79 character password

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

Doesn't matter. Software was Closed Source and answered to someone other than the dipshit running it.

[–] Fake4000@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you tried clearing the apps cache and see if it works for you?

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago

Done. Nada.
