ANSWERED Eddie wouldn't auth. with tor hashed paswd

[funkoholic 1]

hi.

as indicated in the topic... i set up auth. via a hashed password in torrc. i'm dead sure i'm copying same hash over to eddie (with the 16:prefix). one output only:

 

Unable to communicate with Tor (515 Authentication failed: Password did not match HashedControlPassword *or* authentication cookie.). Is Tor up and running?
 

Tor is detecting that control connection, but not complaining about auth issues (in the output).

[notice] New control connection opened from 127.0.0.1.

Self-solved and I need to admit the error message is misleading because... You need to provide a plain-text pass there.

Hash won't work.

Hash with double-quotes won't work.

Plain-text with double-quotes won't work.
