complex password is not accepted - simple ones are working

[phenomeus]

I tried to set up a login mask for configuration purposes and no matter what complex password i use, the mask is not letting me through / accepting it.

first I head some letters like %&! init, but then I tried admin / "GSZ3qtMgpGHz4" and that was also not working. no matter if it was freshly flashed or reconfigured afterwards by the gui.

when I used admin / "test" it was working. any idea why?

I'm on a Mac with safari or chrome. no password managers used in between.

Use the port monitor on baud rate 115200. Hit the reset button and when it boots up it will display all the saved configuration settings including the password.

shouldn't it be overwritten when I define a password with the ui and activate the login?

for debugging your suggested way is of course valid but not for usage

I checked it like you said and its cutting off the last 2 letters:

GSZ3qtMgpGHz4 (wanted)
vs.
GSZ3qtMgpGH (actual set password, read from monitor)

and this time I set the pw inside Arduino and compiled it myself, so its not set with GUI
