I am new to all this. I set up tightvncserver on Raspberry Pi and the viewer on my PC. When i ran vncserver :1 on the pi it asks for a password. The issue is it will not allow you to enter anything. What am i missing?
VNC not working

Not sure if you will be able to get any help on this as I have never heard of tightvncserver and definitely not seen it in any of the reef-pi discussions. Have you done a search for it in the forum?
I use wire guard on my pi-hole so that I can also access my reef-pi from outside the house.
I think a few people use Tailscale for their remote access and it has been discussed in a few places on the forum.
Why have you chosen tightvncserver? Any advantages you know of?
Edit: just checked and this is the only mention of tightvncserver......so I doubt you will be able to get much help here. It's more of a raspberry pi issue than a reef-pi issue.

Thanks. I have looked at tutorials on youtube and i got to the last part and it failed. Decided to use RealVNC and now it works great.
