I suspect the launcher is trimming the password field to x number of characters before attempting to login. I am tempted to change my password to a much smaller string.
Anyone had this issue_ This is the first time launching the launcher - the actual game hasn't even installed yet.
EDIT: Just confirmed it: the launcher does not like my long password (17 characters long); changed to a password smaller than 16 characters and it worked. Devs, you should probably match the limitations on the launcher to the limitations on the site.
