#103 Login with incorrect username or password doesn't show a message

Opened by FractalU on September 29, 2024

When I try to log in with either a incorrect username or password and then click on the Sign in button, nothing seems to happen. It should rather show a message such as Incorrect username or password to indicate that the username or password has been mistyped or the account doesn’t exist as opposed to showing nothing which is currently the case. Under further inspection with the browser developers tools accessible via F12 I can see that there is something happening. Under the Network tab of the browser developer tools it shows a request with the following parameters when the Sign in button is being pressed.

Under Tor Browser (Firefox):

Status: 404
Method: POST
Domain: nest.pijul.com
File: /?login=
Initiator: 2fa-auth.js:1 (fetch)
Type: plain
transferred: 726 B
Size: 0 B

Under Brave Browser (Chromium):

Name: ?login=
Status: 404
Type: fetch
Initiator: 2fa-auth.js:1
Size: 79 B or 102 B

Seems like when pressing the Sign in button the script 2fa-auth.js tries to dynamically redirect me to a page under https://nest.pijul.com/?login= with the POST method and fails with a 404 response. Because it fails to dynamically redirect me, it looks like nothing seems to happens Typing the same URL on the address bar redirects me to nest.pijul.com. The method is then GET. My guess is what should have happened instead is that 2fa-auth.js redirects me to a page with a message indicating that the username or password is incorrect.

PS, I’ve already written to Pierre-Étienne Meunier emails about this issue with the subject Sign Up and Login at Pijul Nest still doesn't work.
