The login passwords do not match.

Error message

The login passwords do not match.

What it means

Validation error thrown in handleSave (web/frontend/src/components/config/config-page.tsx:305, message from i18n key pages.config.dashboard_password_mismatch) when the trimmed password and confirm strings differ while the password fields are dirty. Standard double-entry confirmation for POST /api/auth/setup; it is purely client-side and fires before any request.

Solutions

1. Re-enter the same password in both fields and save again
2. Check for a trailing/leading space in one field — trim is applied, so an internal-only difference such as capitalization is the cause
3. Use a password manager paste rather than manual typing to avoid typos

if (launcherPasswordDirty && password !== confirm) {
  setFieldError("The login passwords do not match.")
  return
}

try {
  await handleSave()
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof Error) setError(err.message) // show next to confirm field
}

When it happens

Trigger: Typing different values in dashboardPassword vs dashboardPasswordConfirm, trailing/leading whitespace in exactly one field (both are trimmed before comparison), or paste errors.

Common situations: Caps Lock on for one field, autocomplete filling only one input, user re-types password differently, or invisible trailing space pasted into one field.
