Fails to authenticate after password change from the wordpress dashboard

    Hi there,

    Let me start with how wonderful this plugin is. However, I have encountered this unusual problem with the plugin. For a given wordpress user, if I manually try and change the password from the wordpress’s user panel and try myself authenticating the user using this plugin with the changed password, it fails to authenticate the user, out putting error code 48.

    This is quit puzzling for me because this should work and I think it use to earlier as well. Could you guide/help me identify and diagnose this issue please.

    Thank You
    Regards

    Hello @nvironmental,

    Sorry for my late response.

    I’ve checked this scenario, and in all environments, it works OK.

    Do you have any special characters in you password?

    Hi Nicu,

    The WordPress Default Password Generator, generates password with special characters[added ref screenshots]. Do you think thats an issue? I there a workaround to preserve special chars in password? Any other suggestions are also welcomed ??

    Hi @nicu_m,

    Any updates ?

    Hello,

    I’ve the same problem.
    I have a WP test system on localhost. And a Angular Client running on localhost as well.
    When I try to login I always get the above mentioned error result with code 48 and the “wrong credentials” message.
    I’ve changed the pw to “test”, just to be sure that it is not a problem with special characters. And I tried to use login with username and email, both with the same result.
    Second test with another non-admin user fails again.

    e.g.
    https://localhost:65004/wptest_master/?rest_route=/admin/auth&username=test&password=test
    pw and email is correct, no space characters or something in the url.

    No idea what the problem is.
    Thanks for help
    Regards

    Hello, @skuriles,

    Can you please tell me your WordPress version, and if you have any other plugins installed?

    I will have a look at this issue ASAP.

    Best regards,
    Nicu.

    Hello Nicu,

    this is a fresh installed WordPress with latest version.
    There are some other plugins I’ve installed for testing:

    WP Simple Booking Calendar
    HR Management Lite
    Shift Controller

    I will try it again after uninstalling these three.

    Everything else is default installation
    Regards Sku

    I think I’m just stupid.

    I’m not 100% sure if it was already in my last test, but today I noticed that I had double equal sign username==test instead of username=test in my code.
    Now it worked.
    I disabled and re-enabled all plugins and it works, too.

    My bad. Thanks for help and this plugin.
