I’m using FileZilla to try and establish an FTP connection to my webpages file directory. Unfortunately, I’m receiving a 530 Login Authentication Failed error, even after changing my password and clicking the Repair option from the Troubleshoot and Fix Your Website tool multiple times.
Here’s a more detailed log of the error I received:
Status: Determining the address of files.000webhost.com
Status: Connecting to 145.14.144.20:21…
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message…
Status: Starting TLS…
Status: Verifying certificate…
Status: TLS connection established.
Command: USER northerndevelopmentinc
Response: 331 User northerndevelopmentinc OK. Password required
Command: PASS ****************************************************************************************************
Response: 530 Login authentication failed
Error: Critical Error: Couldn’t connect to the server
530 means bad password.
Try changing password again or wait five minutes after changing before connection afterwards as the change password job is queued sometimes and isn’t instant.
So, I came up with a hypothesis that your hash function was cutting off my password after a certain amount of characters, but only on the ftp login, so I tried changing my password to something that was 32 characters instead of 100, that also didn’t fix the issue.
