#Flickr uploadr shows invalid sets password#
Entering a password into LastPass, with visibility enabled. However, there are some situations where you can click or tap on an “eye” icon that will allow the password you’re entering to be displayed as you enter it. Most often the solution is simply to take it slowly and carefully. Add to that the asterisks usually displayed instead of the characters you’ve actually typed, and it can be nearly impossible to not only type the right thing, but even know what it is you’ve typed so far. Particularly with the proliferation of small devices with small keyboards, entering the right password can be a real challenge. Even one character off is enough to make it wrong. So secure it’s difficult for me to type it in, much less remember it, when I need to.Įven though I know it’s frustrating, make absolutely certain you’re typing in exactly the right password. Recent experiences include setting up a super-secure 20 character password to an account, and then having to painfully, slowly, and awkwardly enter that password on a device without a keyboard (a streaming device connected to my television). I get “invalid password” all the time, and it’s always due to a typo on my part. There are several ways that can happen - some benign, some not so much. I’ll say it again: if you get “invalid password”, then the password you entered doesn’t match what the system expects. Getting an “invalid password” message simply means the password you entered doesn’t match the password the system expects for the account you’re attempting to access. If what you type now matches what the system thinks your password should be, you’re in. In order to confirm you’re the person who owns and should be allowed access to the account, you need to type the same password you did before. That password was set up when you set up the account. Whatever system you’re attempting to sign in to - an online account, a computer, or something else - has a password associated with it. Whatever it is you typed in isn’t the password.Ĭlearly, we need to dive deeper and understand exactly why it’s possible the password you think is correct isn’t. I know that seems obvious - it’s what the message says, after all - but I get so much pushback.
