Read it Later authentication password
Linh
via web
It seems if your password begins with a special character, Carbon cannot authenticate to Read it Later. Or, it could be in specific the '&' at the start of the password, that is what lastpass gave me. Yes, I triple checked the initial password, and even copied it from the webOS lastpass app =)
I changed it to start with a number and it seems to work fine now.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Linh, we'll check where the problem is & get it fixed in one of the coming releases.

It's not just the start of the password, it's anywhere in the password. I'd bet Read It Later is expecting the password to be encoded in some way that's not being done. Like the original poster, I changed my password to be all alphanumeric (16 chars, FTW!), and it authenticated with no problems.

I did not have problems before, as I always have symbols. Maybe it's specific symbols?

Shoot, I didn't think about that, and now I've already forgotten the old one. I think it had '#', '&', and/or '!'.
