Password cannot be entered into MATLAB LiveLink

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

Whenever I try to start a MATLAB LiveLink (be it over the "COMSOL 4.4 with MATLAB" icon or manually) the command window lets me enter a username, but as soon as I want to enter a password, no entries are accepted. I can write whatever I want without it being shown in the command window. It thus becomes impossible to start a LiveLink application.

I am using COMSOL 4.4 and MATLAB 2014a. The MATLAB root is configured in COMSOL.

I would highly appreciate your help.

Thanks, Moritz

I am experiencing the same problem as Moritz, although I am using COMSOL 5.0 and Matlab 2014a. I can enter any username I want, but I cannot type anything in the password line?

Ok I found out myself: when typing a password in the windows command prompt, you don't see anything, but it actually is there, so 'type' a password, and retype it in the 'Confirm password' line. Just remember well what you typed the first time.
