Could not verify password
The download page called POST /api/download/verify-access-password and the fetch itself failed (network, CSRF, aborted request). Wrong password returns a different message (“Incorrect file password”).
Why this happens
Client catch around the verify call — not a failed password match. Session/cookie issues or a down API can trigger it.
Diagnose and fix
1. Refresh the page, complete captcha/TOS if shown, and try the password again.
2. Confirm the file has an access password set (Password-protected files / edit file).
3. Check grant/password rate limits if they are hammering verify.
4. If the API returns “incorrect,” treat it as a wrong password, not this article.
