Can't Login to Shard

[Wamduskasapa]

I am Unable to Login.
I have logged off of Forum and then logged back on.
I then used the same information in an attempt to log on to the Shard.
I recieved the following Error

We were experiencing some account issues momentarily, which should now be fixed. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Please be sure you're logging in using your forum account name and password, not an email address.

Still have the same problem -
I logged off of the Forum - went to Internet Properties & deleted the Internet files - did a cold restart of system - logged on to Forum - attemped to log onto shard

Does it make any difference that I am utilizing a 17 digit shifted/unshifted alpha numeric password???

[Deledrius]

We're looking into this. Thanks for your patience!

It might be worth trying a simpler password, just to see if that helps - that would let us know if it's something screwy with your account or with the way our tools handle your entirely-too-awesome password.

[Deledrius]

From the looks of it, yes this may be your problem. Looking at the client code, I see this:

Code: Select all

const unsigned kMaxPasswordLength = 16;


So you came in just over the default limit.

Thanks for finding this!

OK, we found the issue. The client only allows passwords up to 16 characters, and the forum/shard bridge doesn't take that into account when it does its magic. Hoikas will get a fix in when he has a bit of time to work on the shard again.

For now, a workaround would be to use a shorter password.

I have implemented a fix for passwords longer than 16 characters. Wamduskasapa, can you log out and back into the forum, then try the shard again?
