password style

[pulp...@gmail.com]

no user login is possible. are there any unallowed chars in it? maybe too long?

the password was: +jSyq@12_0rRwY7G&/mBAQ=|?{\#53Ouw8910q@3201i+./\nFVsc

[Mike Keehan]

Backslash character might be a problem, especially \n
Maybe the pipe symbol | and ampersand & too.

Yes, I would try typing the password with the backslashes doubled; might
work.

Nothing wrong with that password. Works fine as it is.
Did you check the keyboard settings? Change them on setup?
There's a host of characters here that wont play nice with different
keyboard settings: my guess is that that's your problem.

Or of course, you havent remembered the password properly - despite it's
being immediately memorable.

That's not diceware. It's random garbage.
Not saying it cant be used as a password (it can), but use almost
certainly relies on some password keeper. Postit on the monitor?
