pickled Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 There's a bug in the registration process that almost kept me from being able to register. When you register, if you don't have the password set for upper AND lower case letters and numbers, it tells you that you didn't type in the captcha correctly. I kept trying the captcha, and even listened to it. Had the right one the entire time. I just didn't notice for a while that the password required some upper case letters too. Mine was all lower case with numbers. Or is this just phpfreak's iq test for participation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Or is this just phpfreak's iq test for participation? It could be...but I doubt it. I think if you miss the first (few) times you try a different format from what you were doing. Generally it is either case insensitive or case sensitive, if one fails try the other. As for me, anytime I do a captcha I try to match case, as that will work either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've lowered the requirements for password strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The captcha I was using was right each time, but the error was that my password hadn't had a mix of upper and lower characters. It was all lowercase and numbers. The registration page was bouncing it back to me but telling me I wasn't entering the right catpcha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Right... and reducing the complexity of the captcha will most likely make it so that upper and lower case won't be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 "The captcha I was using was right each time, but the error was that my password hadn't had a mix of upper and lower characters. It was all lowercase and numbers." If that requirement isn't in place, the false error won't occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peranha Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I think what he is trying to say is that his password was invalid, and it was giving him the capture error instead of the password error. That is an SMF forum problem I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ober Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 yeah, and he is getting the capture error for his password being invalid. Try reading it again. He's talking about the captcha phrase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The way I understood it, his password didn't meet the complexity requirements, and because of that, SMF was saying the CAPTCHA was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I believe he interchanged the word "password" for "captcha". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
