 Hello,

 I am unable to login to WordPress backend from the login modal. Always get
 'ERROR: The password field is empty.' error but if I login through this
 link https://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/ or https://yourwebsite.com/wp-
 login.php it works.

 I believe the modal login should work irrespective of where you are?

 Have experienced this on more than five sites.

 See the attached screenshot.

 Thanks
