Password change resulted in confirmation, but then unable to login. #149

Open Bucket1616 opened 1 month ago

Just installed Webtrees (v2.1.20) and postgres 16 within a Docker Stack.

I had trouble installing it using a strong password in the compose statement, as I was unable to login with it afterwards. I then started over and used a simple 8 character password of mikepail. This allowed me to login.

After getting it up and running, I went to the admin page so I could change to a proper, strong password. I created one within my password manager (about 16 characters, none special) and saved to the password manager and then pasted it and saved the changes in the Webtrees interface. I then logged out and attempted to log back in. The new password, which I am confident is being entered correctly because of the use of a password manager, is not being accepted.

I am now locked out and will have to re-install again since there is no SMTP mail server configuration that would allow a password reset to work.

Any idea what might ba happening on password changes? Too long and truncating, character issues, etc?

Uh, I'm not sure. Do you have an example of one of these disposable passwords? I also tried with PostgreSQL, starting with badwtpassword and then changed it to 6AJSI9rpxR2m$w*5AHB24oXj^dL^sR3T8JdC3wHJwU%B0B52GxE*K#2C#zkmSLb6yXZsI4QTJWz$T2xwS1q!e29FJ5J*O3@vTw9BIg2kEka**WIwc^&TDyYoJwR1t8Ho and it saved fine. I'm using Chrome.

It would be good to check the network console in your browser devtools when the page submits, but I found it tricky since webtrees immediately redirects you to the homepage after changing your password.
