As the subject says - returns a credentials don't match error.

Steps to reproduce:

Okay, to update my own comment - you can work around this by going to https://id.atlassian.com > API Tokens and generating an API token. Then use that token as your password in the app and you can log in.

One other caveat - the password field does not allow you to paste, so paste the token into a background app that supports monospaced text (so you can distinguish between l and I and 1, etc) and type it into the Jira timer in the foreground. It would be great if the above were in your docs!

Thanks again for a great app!

Thanks for trying it out! I haven't given any consideration to alternative login methods and is something I will definitely consider for the future.

With regards to not being able to paste into the input, I've noticed other inputs suffer from reduced interaction (such as CMD + A to select all text). Unfortunately this problem doesn't occur in a local development version, only when built for release. That's making it hard to track down but it's annoying us enough internally here to prioritise finding a fix for it!

@oliverharrison the copy/paste issue in inputs should now be fixed
