To reproduce: 1. Set up a Weave account on your desktop, make sure the passphrase has some unicode characters in it (try the Norwegian characters "ÆØÅ") 2. Verify that you can log in and sync between desktop clients with the unicode passphrase 3. Try logging in on the iPhone client, it says "invalid passphrase". (hold in the A and O keys on the keyboard to access the special characters when entering the passphrase on the iPhone)

The iPhone client has been fixed, but depends on 1.3 server. This was a bug with the 1.2 server.

This should be fixed as of the shipping of Firefox Sync 1.3. It needs to be verified.

Is this a regression in the iPhone app then? Tony - sounds like it works fine for you with Sync on desktop, right?

yep, i'm just reporting that it works across desktop builds (mac 3.6.4 to win7 3.6.4 on weave 1.3.1), but not from mac to my itouch. My itouch keeps erring out saying the password is incorrect. (i used step 3 in comment 1 to reproduce the Ø and Å characters.)

(In reply to comment #6) > flagging as blocker since it works on desktop client and server Curious how this works on desktop as it appears to be a bug on the server? See bug# 573115 for details.

See > bug# 573115 for details. This is not the same as bug# 573115 That bug affects passwords that have a special character at the end of the password *only*. special characters in the middle of the password, as :tchung noted, work fine on the desktop.(In reply to comment #7)

This needs to be fixed on the desktop client because the iPhone client is doing the right thing here. We won't block on this for 1.0, but it does mean we will have to relnote this and make the app available only in english speaking countries until the desktop client bug is fixed.

With bug 558963 fixed, Firefox Sync will UTF-8 encode the passphrase and no longer cut the high unicode bytes off. This fix will be in 1.4.1 and 1.5. I've verified that the iPhone client can properly decode data encrypted with a unicode passphrase by Firefox Sync with those fixes applied. I tested this with umlauts, we might also want to test Chinese characters, etc.

Tony has confirmed that the iPhone client now accepts unicode passphrases entered on the desktop.
