I don’t know why it takes 45 seconds every time it needs to update the screen.

It’s really bad of you have a long list of saved tabs.

On a side note but related, github.com/kmille/freetar is a private front-end for Ultimate Guitar that’s amazing. Free public instance at freetar.de.
Never went back to UG after finding this, so much better than navigating their awful website.

Fuck UG. Seriously. Find something better. I’d suggest Songsterr.
UG basically started as a “free tabs” website and collected everyone’s contributions. Later, they pay walled all of it without compensating anyone.
Go suck a dick, UG.

At least that’s better than when the site accepts the password but doesn’t actually let you log in with it.
My old college was like that with their SSO. It would accept any type of password you threw at it. But then you just wouldn’t be able to sign into anything, so you’d be forced to reset your password again, but it doesn’t tell you that’s what the problem is, so you just have to sorta guess what it was.

I got to discover that one program at work let’s you change your password as expected but silently drops everything after character 16 entered while doing so. Of course that’s not mentioned in any documentation I have access to.
elvith@feddit.org 4 days ago
Been there. It’s somewhat ok if they do it consistently. E.g. registration and login form both allow more than 16 chars and then just truncate the password silently.
Worse is if the registration form does it, but the login form uses the full password you entered (or vice versa) and then the login fails because the password doesn’t match…

I feel like work passwords are just always the worst security you will ever see, which sucks because you would think they would be the most important security.
I had a job once that you could put a password in and it was across multiple intranet services
Some services wanted the password case sensitive. Some wanted the password either as all caps or all lowercase.
So anytime you put your password in, you essentially had to put the password in three times unless you knew how that service had it.
Documentation would have please put password in as all caps or please have password completely lowercase
Honestly, there was an unwritten rule that when you put your password in, you just did it in all caps. That way you only had to try two different passwords instead of three different passwords.if you couldn’t remember what service it was.
Very concerning for comp sec. Fortune 100 company as well.

What are the first 3 characters? Maybe one of those is an invalid character? Do you use that password anywhere else, for comparison?
markz@suppo.fi 5 days ago
It seems to be missing special characters
axh@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Maybe… The answer why is on the screen: there is no special character in the password…
Just add an exclamation mark at the end, like a normal person

It’s not the password that is weak. Your flesh is weak and it waits to be consumed, tiny human

Maybe the characters you picked were just weak? Use stronger characters next time /s

Does Ebay allow “special characters” (:;&*+/ ) now?
MrQuallzin@pie.eyeofthestorm.place 5 days ago
Its not about the length of your password, you’re just not meeting the password requirements. You’re missing a special character
SatyrSack@quokk.au 4 days ago
I think they understand that. They are just calling out how outdated those password requirements are. In reality, a 32-character password made up of just alphanumeric characters is more secure than an 8-character password that also includes special characters. OP knows this fact, but they see that the website does not, so they are bringing that up here.

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.
The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).
“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:
it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition
it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters
In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.
Yay for English.

Proving yet again, no matter how clear the messaging users won’t read it.
