Re: Sometimes get "incorrect padding error"- new bug in django 3.1?

Hey Diptesh - did you get anywhere with understanding this?  Did y ou get any response from the Django devs?

Just happened to me on my Staging site.  Recently upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1

I can login with Firefox, but Chrome crashes with the following error:

```python

Exception Type: Error at /admin/
Exception Value: Incorrect padding

This happened first when I was developing on my Android device using Termux app. I switched my browser to Google-Chrome and the issue was resolved.

Then today I was developing on my PC, using qutebrowser and this error popped up again. Switching to Google-Chrome fixed the issue.

I don't think this is an issue with the browsers themselves, because I have completed entire django projects in both these devices, and never had to switch to Chrome.

The only differences happen to be- This is my first time using djangorestframework, first time using django 3.1

Is this a bug that has leaked into django 3.1 inadvertently?
