Issue: "invalid login" error with passwords containing special characters (lemmy.zip)

Received an "invalid login" error after entering the correct password, likely due to special characters (*, #, $, %, &) within the password. I was only able to login after changing my password to remove all special characters.

Edit: There is a chance that removing special characters shortened my password enough for it to work; might be a password length issue rather than a special character issue (or maybe a mix of both)

Thanks, I will check that

Fyi, as pointed out by another, it might have to do with the password length rather than special characters

that would explain why I can't log in online but I can in the app

I can log in online at lemmy.world, but I cannot log into the Boost for Lemmy app. I get the invalid login as well, but I simply have a very long password, no special characters.

My password is fairly long too. I wonder if removing special characters in mine shortened my password just enough to work. I wasn't entirely scientific.
