WEB GUI accepts password change, but I cant login

I have just installed OMV6 and tried to use the same 45-char length password (with special characters) that I'm used to have on my OMV5 machine.

When I change the password in the UI (from the default "openmediavault" to my desired password), I receive a success message. However, when I logout and try to login again, I get a "incorrect username/password" error.

I noticed this behaviour only occurs when I try to use this long 45-char password. If I try to use a small password, like "passwordtest@" or whatever, I can logout and login normally.

Well, maybe OMV6 has a password length limit that I'm not aware of (if so, where is this documented?). But anyways, if my password is bad, shouldn't the GUI warn me instead of giving me a success password changed message?

Ok, I think I've found the culprit, and I think this is a bug. If a remove the dollar sign - $ - from my passwords, then it's all fine. This works for any password, no matter the length.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Since I'm able to login now, I will mark the issue as resolved. Later I will do some more tests and try to include the "$" again in my password.

Maybe fixed in 6.0.5-3? From the changelog:

openmediavault (6.0.5-3) unstable; urgency=low

Yeah, I think that's it! I noticed that it was an update available today. After the update, I can use the $ again
