Background-size: cover; doesn't cover the whole page-CodePudding

I've seen many posts on this subject but none of the solutions solved it for me. Currently working on a freecodecamp project, and I have a problem where the background image doesnt fill the whole screen even though I used background-size:cover I'm a beginner so I won't be surprised if im missing something very basic here..

Code:

body {
  font-family: 'poppins', sans-serif;
  color: #f3f3f3;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  background-position: center;
  height: 100vh;
  width: 100vw;
  background-size: cover;
  background-image: url("https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/closeup-focus-on-persons-hands-typing-on-the-desktop-computer-show-picture-id1356364268?b=1&k=20&m=1356364268&s=170667a&w=0&h=YibLOYYDkERhgK4BvRw3TzIlPYQAo4nbMnFA-5CvZ0k=");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.color-overlay {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  background-color: rgba(45, 0, 128, 30%)
}

h1, p{
  text-align: center;
}

h1 {
  margin: 0;
  padding-top: 1em;
}

p {
  margin: 0;
  margin-bottom: 1.5em
}

form {
  max-width: 600px;
  min-width: 300px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding-bottom: 40px;
  padding-top: 25px;
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 50%)
}

fieldset {
  border: none;
}

label {
  display: block;
  margin-left: 5px;
  margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}

input,
textarea,
select {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 10px 0 0 0;
  height: 2em;
}

select {
  width: 98%;
  margin-left: 5.5px;
}

.inline {
  width: unset;
  margin: 0;
  margin-top: -0.3em;
  margin-right: 0.5em;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

Use min-height on body and .color-overlay instead of just height to prevent the size from becoming smaller than the value specified.
