Security Password not saving and appears to be resetting to a 50+ character password

Hi guys, hope you can help me. Apologies if the issue has been addressed before, I searched for similar topics and found nothing like this.

I’m trying to setting up Security username and password (Using basic browser authentication). When I put my password in and hit save, the password appears to change to a 52 character password. Same thing happens with Forms (Login page) by the way.
When I try access Sonarr after I “set” the password I selected it does not work. At first I thought I made a typo with the password but I know I’m not. So I’m assuming that the password is the 52 character password it keeps resetting to which of course I don’t know what it is.

What can I do to fix this?

thanks in advanced.

Hi I think I might have just found out the problem. I think my password was too long originally. Could someone confirm what the max character count for the security password is?

There isn’t a limit.

Sounds like something (browser plugin, auto complete, etc) is injecting that password and causing issues, try another browser/incognito window to see if the issue persists.

That’s strange. I tried with a 26 character password and it would not hold. Did this repeatedly. When I changed to a 4 character password to test and it worked. Then put in as a 16 character password holds.

But it’s cool least I’ve got the protection I needed.

Markus101 thanks for the reply. Have a good weekend. Loving Sonarr btw.
