Can't log in (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/syncforlemmy
 

Idk if it's just me but I semingly can't log in with Sync, it just keeps on saying invalid login, anyone got any ideas? If not, ill file a bug report.

Edit: I'm finally able to log in, turns out it was password length which is weird.

Ditto, but it seems to be a problem with lemmy.world. I successfully logged into a different instance.

I have never been able to log in to Lemmy.world with any app. I think is may be the instance because I can log in anywhere else.

[โ€“] Deftdrummer 1 points 2 years ago

I had the same but it works with old.lemmy.com.

I believe lemmy.world is currently experiencing downtime.

I'm using sh.itjust.works so that's not it

Same issue, but I run my own instance. The password is 1,000% correct, not sure what's wrong.

Obviously I'm not going to give you the exact character count of my password :p

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea lol, I mean like is it under 32 characters?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it's under 32 characters.

I'm trying to figure out how it's trying to log in, but log parsing in Lemmy is so hard when the server is shooting 2,000 lines per second. Other apps work fine with the same password.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah same with my old password, worked fine with connect

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, if you get signed in, it'd be awesome if you could come let me know what worked for you!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I managed to log in, it was the length of the password, I changed my password to a shorter one and it worked

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Now that's definitely strange, but thanks!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

As it turns out, the issue I was having earlier was due to CloudFlare blocking my login due to activity that looked like a bot. I cleared that rule and I'm all good now

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I got that error when I tried to login to lemmy.world. Worked fine with lemm.ee.

.world is having issues at the moment.

Is your password too long?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was for someone earlier. They reduced their characters down to 32 and managed to log in fine.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Turns out that was the issue :/

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Glad you got it sorted.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Any other details? Did you find your instance in the list?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, it's sh.itjust.works, I put in my username and password and it just says invalid login. I even checked my password with the web version of the instance and the password is right

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You might have to add "https://" in the beginning, but I doubt that that's it. What version is shitjustworks running on? Could be possible that sync can't log into older versions. Either that or the instance is just too overloaded.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's running 0.18.2 which is like 1 minor version update behind

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah well, that might be the issue :/
