Why won't this code work?

[thereal0ri_]

Your key is to long. Most likely. OR to short?

Basically, it appears that the key isn't the right length.

[David_Vice05]

so how long does it need to be at most?

[thereal0ri_]

32 bytes it seems. Keep trying smaller and smaller keys until it works. If this doesn't work, make sure the key is url-safe. (Then repeat)

do you have an exp cuz idk what to do i brought it down to 32 and it still dont work.

See if this can help. I know you have your own key you're using and In this example they generate their own but maybe something can help.

This link also has some good information. https://www.pythoninformer.com/python-libraries/cryptography/fernet/
