I’m having issues connecting to my acc (beehaw.org instance) with mlem. The web log-in is fine.

I had been able to do log in with mlem when I first created the account. But once I changed my password (to a stronger pass), logged out of mlem, I could not log in with mlem again. The error message is Could not connect with beehaw.org.

Also tried uninstalling but didn’t work.

    I just tried logging into beehaw and had no problems. What kind of characters do you have in your password? I tried a password with diacritics, quotes and slashes, and it worked fine.

      I think it’s the length of the password that affects log-in from mlem. I changed my original password to a shorter one and I can now log in. I also did a couple rounds of changing password (1 more long and 1 more short; both only have -, numbers and letters), and I was only able to log in with the short one. I didn’t experiment on how long the passwords can be for mlem to be able to take.

        Hmm, thank you for the insight. I will try it with ridiculously long passwords to see what I can do about it

          FWIW, my Beehaw password is currently 15 characters, and I managed to log in ok, in this, my first try of Mlem. I’m enjoying it so far - thank you :)
