Hm, well... The short story is that it looks like this was just stupid user error on my part, so actually disregard it, and thanks. :)
The longer version is that I had been having the problem on Firefox, but at your suggestion I tried on Chrome, which worked fine. While logging in on Chrome, though, I had noticed that clicking on the password textbox on the main page briefly selects the text in there before giving you a cursor; on my machine merely selecting text is sufficient to put it in the clipboard, and so when I pasted what I thought had been my password, it had been actually just pasting a bunch of unicode dots which had gotten copied over to the clipboard.
The text selection color on Chrome made that more obvious, and it looks like I'm able to get in without problems.
So anyway, thanks! All good on my end.
