Okay, so I tried it again just now and had the same problem. It clears
the password field, leaving the username field filled in and says in red:-

Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields may
be case-sensitive.

My IPFire People password is 20 characters long and also contains
several special characters. It works fine for me in IPFire People,
IPFire Community, IPFire Bugzilla and IPFire Webmail.

Just in case the special characters are causing a problem with Patchwork
login I reset my password to only use digits and upper/lower case
letters. The changed password worked with IPFire People, IPFire
Community, IPFire Bugzilla and IPFire Webmail but again would not work
with Patchwork.

Regards,

Adolf.
