ASF version

Latest stable release

ASF variant

linux-x64

Bug description

Typing a special character at the Please enter your Steam password: prompt (including from a paste) immediately dismisses the prompt as if Enter was pressed.

Expected behavior

The prompt should accept my whole password without submitting.

Actual behavior

If a special character is the first character entered, InitLoginAndPassword() steamPassword is invalid! is logged.
If not the first character, the partial password is submitted, leading to OnConnected() SteamKit2.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed with result InvalidPassword..

Steps to reproduce

Start asf without an active session or a password configured.
At the password prompt, type a special character (e.g. !, ", _).

Possible reason/solution

Using the asf AUR package on Arch Linux.

This is over SSH, but I've not had issues with any other programs' handling of special characters. Locale, in case that's relevant:

$ locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Can you help us with this bug report?

Somehow, I can test and offer feedback, but can't code

}

Additional info

The description for BotName.json above states that SteamPassword is mandatory, but the documentation says if left unset then I should be able to provide it at startup, which is where the problem lies. Is this still the case?

Reproducible with latest stable.
Unreproducible with latest pre-release, might be caused by fc13f2c (?)

@Terrance does it work for you with latest pre-release?
https://github.com/JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm/releases/tag/5.5.0.7

This was already fixed in latest pre-release, in particular starting from ASF V5.5.0.1.

Dupe of #3075 (comment)

If you can't wait, I recommend upgrade to latest pre-release which is a stable release candidate at this stage. Otherwise, the next stable should be available in a month or so.

Apologies, didn't spot that one whilst searching (admittedly I was looking for password-related issues rather than ones about the console in general). After some faff with the AUR package and system upgrades to switch to .NET 8.0, I now have 5.5.0.7 running and the password prompt works as expected.

That's alright, since the issue I linked indeed focused on something else, but the underlying problem was the same. Glad to hear it works for you now 👍
