Hallo,

Everytime I try to login to GoogleMail, this forum or any other site where I need to enter a password to login I can't. My password is wrong (that's what the website is telling me). But I checked alot of times. I enter the password correct. Login works on my big PC with the same password.

Anyone else has the problem in the webbrowser, that he can't login the websites? I use OS2008 on the N800.

Greetings Stefan

Did you try writing your credentials in a text doc and copy/paste them to the website?
I read a post these days of someone having similar strange behaviour with the search box in ITT and 2008. All the letters were reversed. Maybe it's related..
I would also try writting them in reversed order, i.e. if 'pass' write 'ssap'.

Have you been entering your login and password with the fullscreen thumb keyboard ? If so, this is a known bug in OS2008 - the stars you see in the password box are actually being sent instead of your actual password.

Try using the small virtual keyboard, it should work.

(BTW, this has already been answered here severeal times these past days)

I did a search. Found nothing. Sorry. I'm a bad searcher

This bug is still in the newest OS firmware that was posted a couple of days ago (2008SE_1.2007.42-19).

Sorry about the "angry" icon on my original post -- I was tapping it on the tablet and it was selected by accident. Didn't mean to come across grumpy :-)

I had the same bug in the *.42-18 firmware.

I found the bug report:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2263

This is currently assigned a LOW priority. Please VOTE for it if you want to bump it up.

I think this could trip up a lot of unsuspecting users once OS2008 gets into wider release. There is no obvious sign of what is going wrong.

Hey, I noticed that it was entering text backwards the other day. Does it also kick the text entry box off the screen? My search box shows up about a half inch below the bottom of the screen.

SEARCH! It's probably already been answered.

I had this problem one time. I backspaced to make sure the field was clear, then it worked just fine. I suspected there was a space before my password throwing it off. I've noticed the thumbboard doesn't always import characters previously existing in a field. I hope the 'backspace' works for you. This apparently isn't an issue everyone has?
