Login fails when password contains double quote about seq-tickets HOT 5 OPEN

Thanks for the report @simon-chester!

Hi @simon-chester 👋 We weren't able to reproduce this ourselves; the \" escaping is what you'd expect to see inside a JSON string, and is unescaped server-side. Are you trying to sign in via the built-in username/password scheme or via OIDC/EntraID?

Feel free to drop us a line at our [email protected] address with any more details if you'd like.

Hi @KodrAus, Thanks for looking at this.

Yes, that makes perfect sense about the JSON escaping (sorry, it was the end of a long day when I opened this issue last night 🥱).

I was using the built-in username/password. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrrwhaAbfYw

..... Just as a quick sanity-check... Here's another of me then removing the double-quote, and the login then succeeding: https://youtu.be/pm8_eNcDtu4

Hi Simon,

The problem is likely to be that your shell is messing with the quotes. You can use the --password-stdin option, or set your password in Seq.

It is also possible to escape the quotes in command line arguments, but the rules are complicated and different for every shell.
