API - possible bug related to password v5.2
Additional information: When trying the password that did not work on API, there is a "Login failed" entry being created in log.
Well, the web app uses the same API, so I don't think it's possible. Compare your requests with what the web app sends.
True, I was only comparing the request which looked the same and not the actual data being passed.
A deeper dive is required, most probably it has to be a problem with how our system handles special characters before passing it to the API.
So it does not look like a Traccar Issue. :)
Thank you
