password turns invalid after a couple of days

[Lasse B.]

Password works just fine when logging into the launcher, but trying to get into the Elite Dangerous Backers site, it doesn't.

This has happened a couple of times now, and each time I decreased the complexity of the password, just to find it won't work when I try to log into the site a couple of days later. I'm currently down to something like (not the same obviously)

XdtStL3ei0N9wkQVv-ApM17zgZMXoJSueTWzrJd89QR7hLhW3SbKn27R0tm-Aein7yjH5T7cuyi3gSDUPU_7pD3PPcLHGrCMquQS

and again the Elite: Dangerous Backers site won't accept it.

So I wonder, how simple does the password have to become before it stays working permanently?

Were you an original Kickstarter backer? If not, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ImFrTq3hNg

Oh, I can log in just fine if I reset the bloody password every single time. It's the main site I'm talking about btw.: https://elite.frontier.co.uk/

Love the IT crowd, had some brilliant episodes. Thanks for the good memories!

It could be down to the length. I have all kinds of weird characters in mine, but it's not as long as you 100 char example.

Probably worth contacting the store support people and see if they can shed any light on it.

This is the style of password to your bank account ?

You might be right. I already cut down the length from 200 characters and will try 50 next. Just in case I've written a support ticket regarding this issue.

I wish my bank would be taking security as seriously as I am. Then again, every online transaction requires verification through hardware, so I guess it's safe-ish.
