This is a helpful tip on more than one level.

Twitter and Reddit seem bent on crashing popular social media sites. If they vanished completely tomorrow along with Facebook, what would be left?

OK, I figured it out: password length Not sure what was changed on Lemmy overnight, but my password suddenly became too long for FF, Chrome, and even Liftoff.

During my trial and error checking, I tried changing the password (which continued to work in Edge), but suddenly Liftoff would not accept the new one. Changed it to something ridiculously short and miraculously everything worked in all the browsers and Liftoff. Inched it back up to something acceptably long and complex again.

Still no luck. Tried Chrome and Firefox in both desktop and mobile, but neither logs in. After clicking “login”, it spins for a second and then returns to “login”. Seems to only work in Edge now. Maybe some security change after the hack now blocks the other browsers?

Ah, very good. Thanks!

Where do yoh do that on Liftoff? I ended up reinstalling the app.

Yes, exactly that. Cookies and site data, and cached web content for good measure. Restarted Firefox after, but no change. Odd.

That didn’t fix it for me. Firefix is hiding a cookie someplace because Edge logs in just fine.
