Pasting Duplicates (MacOS)

[EmbyOak 22]

Sorry for posting here, there is no MacOS app option.

When creating users I copy and pasted passwords from elsewhere to ensure the passwords were correct (you are not able to view passwords as you type them in).  I noticed the passwords I pasted in to the user's account never worked. I then realized when pasting the character count was too long.

As it turns out, when you paste a password in to the MacOS Emby app, Emby puts in a space then repeats the password.  Great for security, not so great when creating users and users cannot get connected due to password issues.  I'm running OS 12.2.1and Emby 2.1.2 (6).

I should add, this issue does not occur in Safari browser.

Hi.  Moved to Web app forum since that is basically what is being used for server configuration.  Thanks.

Hi, do you still see this with Emby for iOS 2.1.3?

I do not see this issue on my iPad (all updated) but it still occurs on my Mac.

OK thanks for the info.

OK so this is a wkwebview defect:

But there are workarounds we can use in the meantime until Apple resolves it. They'll be in the next update to the app. Thanks.

Well that is an interesting "feature" from Apple...
