Pasting password for new user creation

[dcrockwell]

I expected:

1. The password to be starred
2. The password to be recognized

What happened:

1. The password was shown without stars
2. The password was not recognized
3. A validation error said I need a password greater than 5 characters.

This was on Mac Chrome

Can you verify that you weren't pasting the password in the Username: field instead of the Password: field? (It's shown first.)

Had the same problem. I can't paste a password.

[dcrockwell]

@keithwhor It was in the password field for sure.

Which browser / operating system? This is likely a browser-specific issue (not handling textarea 'onpaste' correctly).

[dcrockwell]

@keithwhor El Capitan (OSX) + Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit)

Apologies for the delay here. We'll get to this during the day tomorrow. :)

Hey guys, really sorry for the delay, had a bunch of stuff pop up. I can't recreate this on my own. Are you pasting using cmd+v / option-click + paste, or are you using some sort of third-party tool?

[dcrockwell]

• I used a password manager the first time to copy to clipboard, then cmd+v to paste it.
• The second time I used cmd+c then cmd+v.

I haven't wrapped my head around what's causing this, but have a feeling it's mostly to due with third-party tools.

We'll be pushing updates within the next few weeks to allow signup that's not from the "web command line" which should alleviate this problem.

We've removed the onboarding CLI from the website for now. Login is done through a normal form now. Hope this fixes your issues :).
