I had similar issues with web based services like Gmail in the past. Iirc it had to do with certain characters in the password being escaped or stripped from the user input on the client, e.g. ones that may be used for SQL injection. I don't know anything about your passwords, but if you make use of !, ., "or something alike chances are that you're running into the same problems I had.

This didn't fix it, but after I changed my password to be a bit shorter, I finally got in. So on a browser you can have a longer password, but lemmur-app can't handle it. I'm not going into detail here about how long my password was and how long it is now for obvious reasons
Please check my comment above. It's not that lemmur can't handle it, we just don't alter your password. Sorry for exposing your old password length :P
... and the new one, it's 60 😉
Please check this thread: https://github.com/krawieck/lemmur/issues/259
This is a bug in lemmy where it will trim your password to 60chars without telling you. We don't do any trimming hence it rejects your credentials.
So if any of you have a password longer than 60 chars, FYI your actual password is only the first 60 chars
