incorrect_login on third party apps - Lemmy.world

Hello, I’m new to Lemmy and am trying to login to my account through an iOS app. This problem happens every time I try to log in using the correct details (copy and pasted from my password manager) on both Mlem and Memmy apps. Every time I try to log in I get an incorrect_login exception. I’ve tried using both lemmy.world and https://lemmy.world as the server. I have validated my email account by clicking the email and logging in, so I’m not sure what is causing this. Anyone have a similar issue?

Interestingly, whenever I click the Verify Email URL in my email, it goes to a page that only has a header: “Verify Email”.

The URL endpoint responsible for validating the email also responds with a 404:

https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/verify_email

Response body:

{"error":"token_not_found"}

Ok, so it turns out that if I use my username I always have issues logging in. If I use my email address, I never have an issue logging in. Only problem: to log into an app, I need to user my username and not my email. So I can’t log into the app?

Similar experience with Voyager and Jerboa on Android specially when there was an influx of users. It was easier to login late at night.

I solved it. Turns out if the password is long/complex enough, I have problems logging in from my iPhone.
