Many
iPhone/Samsung/Oneplus users are reporting issue while logging on some websites
like Amazon, reddit, facebook, spotify that they are not able to login on the
website and keep on getting error "Please match the requested format"
while trying to login. Not only on the login screen but also on filing up different
forms, survey but while submitting the forms it is throwing error “Please match
the requested format”.
fix Please match the requested format on iPhone,spotify
The issue seems to
be with specific device like the login works fine on iPhone 11 but shows this
error on iPhone 12. But this is a real trouble for the users as they are not
able to login on the website and complete the work.
Why I am getting “Please match the requested format” on the iPhone:
If you are seeing
this error on login or submitting forms this is due to validation done by the browser
or the webpage while submitting data to the server.” match the requested format” is caused by a hidden input that
appears to be for a one-time password. It's got no value but it has a pattern
attribute indicating that it has to contain a number, so browsers while doing
pattern validation on the input rejects it.
How to fix the error: “Please match the requested format” on iPhone/iPad/Samsung Galaxy, OnePlus
Fix : Switch to old
layout
The
issue can be caused by the change in the webpage , so if you have option the
webpage to switch to older version, please try that. Try logging by Switching to
old layout as this may work with high probability.
Fix 2:
Try different Case
Sometimes
the website developer are nonrennet about LOWER Case and UPPER case use, for
example putting an email should be case insensitive, but sometimes site
developer makes it case sensitive. As a workaround try using only lower case as
this may help.
