Unable to login to admin backend from a wordpress login modal window

[dickensayieko]

Hello,

I am unable to login to WordPress backend from the login modal. Always get 'ERROR: The password field is empty.' error but if I login through this link ​https://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/ or ​https://yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php it works.

I believe the modal login should work irrespective of where you are?

Have experienced this on more than five sites.

See the attached screenshot.

That is what I get on the modal window whenever I try to login

Hey there,

Thanks for your report! Are you perhaps using Chrome and its autofill functionality? If so, this sounds like a duplicate of #30023.
