I registered on the web site today and then tried to log in on Jerboa, but it gives the Incorrect Login message. I figured maybe my first (autogenerated) password was too long or had invalid characters in it. So I’ve tried several times to change it, but neither the Change Password box in Settings nor reset password works. Both of them just changes the button to a spinner whenever I click it. What’s up?

EDIT: It seems the same problem affects trying to log in (I’m still logged in on this browser, but I can’t log in on any other). But it doesn’t even seem to be specific to my user. No matter what username and password I give it, the button just keeps on spinning. Both on Firefox on Linux and Chrome on Android. So it should affect everyone. Strange.

EDIT 2: Logging in doesn’t work on other servers running 0.17.4 (tried https://discuss.tchncs.de/login and https://sh.itjust.works/login).

    Try making an account and changing your password in https://voyager.lemmy.ml. If it still doesn’t work there, that means it’s not fixed in the upcoming release and you’ll need to create a github issue.

    Edit: just tested on voyager and it worked fine. This bug should be fixed in the upcoming 0.18 release.

      Thanks, I hope 0.18 fixes it then. I tried logging in using another browser, and noticed that trying to log in gives the same infinite spinner. So it seems I can only use my account on the browser I’m on right now.
