Validate passwords during application, and explain limitations.
Closed this issue · 11 comments
I've set a 128-character and 64-character passwords using the ASCII gamut ("special symbols" and all). As an example, 9N2WF*uGrithxXLOw24mIjJ5RvD^pwnbspZHKga%%2I#ard^RMTFjpjn7QCgNkkV!IxzKKRq68xO*I*cHG3aS6O8yQn2x7s0gW$E$L!bKWm1wVKZVvw6d*uU9wivotp0. However, every time I've exited and attempted to reauthenticate at https://web.libera.chat/, I'm informed that it's incorrect.
You need to state:
- which characters, if any, are disallowed, and
- whether a maximum length exists (and, if so, what the maximum length is).
This looks like a Kiwi IRC bug or something? Such a password normally works just fine.
@funderscore1, perhaps - I've solely set it at https://web.libera.chat/, using the instructions at https://github.com/Libera-Chat/libera-chat.github.io/blob/b7e77a7618be35e86728e87ae78f2eaebb428074/content/_guides/sendpass.md. I took a cursory look at https://github.com/kiwiirc/kiwiirc/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+password for any relevant issues upstream, and didn't locate any.
@RokeJulianLockhart Not 'perhaps', it just works :) A lot of people are using such passwords.
Maybe ask #libera or #KiwiIRC on Libera.Chat?
@funderscore1, do you happen to be? If so, which client did you set it via? It'd be worth using to ensure I'm using one which doesn't erroneously truncate or otherwise corrupt it in transit.
I tend to solely use synchronous communication when I can, otherwise it becomes difficult to deal with alongside other tasks. It's bad enough this merely not being threaded here. Irrespective, certainly if all else fails.
I believe such questions are better asked on #libera, but that's just my opinion. I think this is getting a bit chatty...
@funderscore1, I shan't be able to refer back to it easily if I do. Do you know of a client which definitely supports this, so that I can compare?
Support what? Logging messages? A lot of them do.
This is an issue tracker for the website. For IRC support please use #libera
@funderscore1, no - that would be off-topic here. I mean the kind of password that I've aforestated. That's why I asked you whether you'd set one yourself.
@glguy, this issue isn't completed yet. The bug remains.
