[Bug] Timeout in wifi password entry
asked 2014-07-15 16:46:38 +0200
There appears to be a timeout when entering wifi passwords. This timeout is short enough to prevent typing a long password. There is no need for such a timeout and it should be removed or at least made longer.
I noticed this while logging in to a friends wifi which has a random 63 character ascii string for a password. Entering such a password takes a while and the wifi password entry would just throw me out before I could enter the whole password.
Got around the problem by entering the password in a text editor and the copying it and pasting it in the wifi login.
I can confirm this bug. Just received my jolla 30 minutes ago, I can't connect to my wlan because of my random 64 characters password. I'm not as fast as the timeout... I now need to look at the copy&paste feature ;-)

Why has it not been upvoted more is a mystery to me as this is such a serious hassle for anyone with a new Jolla.
Another mystery is why on earth would this website allow me to edit the OP's question. I clicked Edit by accident (Jolla's stock browser click lottery) and, to my big surprise, an editor opened up.
