Cannot sign in using a password generated by KeePass

[AB1908]

🐛 Bug Report

I use KeePass to generate and manage all my passwords. My password is a randomly generated string containing special characters of length 12. I have verified that I am able to sign in via Firefox and Chrome, but not via the Leetcode extension. I followed the steps in the FAQ to no avail.

To Reproduce

1. Generate a random password using any decent password generator which also must contain special characters like #$%^*(.
2. Try to sign in via the extension

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to sign in.

@AB1908 I tried a password which is !@#$%^&*() and can successfully signed in. Please make sure you are using the correct endpoint. The LeetCode and LeetCode-CN do not share the same account system.

[AB1908]

I tried both endpoints.

[jdneo]

Hmmm, tried it again in Fedora but still cannot repro. If someone has any clue for this issue. Please feel free to let me know.

I am having this problem as well. I tried several accounts in both endpoints but none of them can successfully login. I am pretty sure that the password is correct. But it kept telling me that it could be an invalid password. VSC on the Windows system works well but this happened when I try to use it on mac os x.

[zentby]

Mac +1. The leetcode-cn works well but the leetcode.com keeps failing. Giving error

[ERROR] invalid password?

[klutzoder]

Mac (10.15.1) +1. the leetcode.com keeps failing.

Duplicate of #478

[AB1908]

Have changed password and tried again. Same error.

[ubwzwd]

I'm also having the same "invalide password?" trouble in Win10.
