I seem to be having an issue logging in to Beehaw from a browser. I've tried Firefox and Chrome on Android and Windows, and Safari on an ipad. I either get a spinning circle or no change on the login button. I've tried disabling all of my extensions, but it doesn't make a difference.
I'm able to access it through Jerboa, but Jerboa's still pretty buggy for me.
Has anyone else run into this? Could this just be an issue with the influx of new users?
Had the same problem on mobile with the spinning wheel on the login button. I’m using a password manager to fill the fields and remembered that on some sites, the auto-fill messes with the web page and the values are not properly handled by the login process for some reason. So took a chance and copied pasted my password by hand and it finally logged in! May be worth a try if you haven’t already.
Ho I found why it wasn’t working when using my password manager: the password length must not be higher than 60 characters. When typing/pasting a value manually in the password field, the web page automatically « trims » the excess I guess, but when using auto-fill with a password manager, something gets broken. I changed my password to one with a length of 60 (was using 128 before) and now it logs in correctly every time with my password manager.
That might be it, I usually have a default password length in the 70s. I'll try that after work and see what happens
Update: This actually worked. I was able to log in on Firefox by copy/pasting, changed my password to under 60 characters, and now I can log in everywhere without a problem. There's a chance it was a coincidence, since I hadn't tried logging in for a day or so, but it's definitely working now. Thanks for this; I never would have thought of it on my own.
I know this is late, but THANK YOU!!! I had been trying so many things like disabling ad blockers and Private DNS, browser settings, etc and didn't even consider my password manager. Probably should keep this in mind going forward!
@somethingclever what are you supposed to get when trying to sign up? Should there be anything more than the spinning button or is that just the sign that the application is awaiting approval?
This isn't while signing up, just logging in with an existing account. I can't remember exactly what happens when registering, but I'm pretty sure I got a page saying that the request needs to be approved and some other instructions.
What browser are you running? If Firefox, what addons do you have that may be stopping network traffic such as U-Block Origin, PrivacyBadger, Noscript, etc...
@somethingclever same thing when trying to register (I think at least?) just a spinning button and no real action in the network tab of the browser except getting some svgs
