My password is always wrong when I try to log in!

[John Salerno]

Hi everyone. I'm having some trouble logging into the forums. Every time I try, it says my password is incorrect. I've used Chrome to remember the password, and I've also typed it in myself to be sure it's right, but it never works.

I have reset the password twice already and that usually automatically logs me in, but when I return later I'm logged out again, and logging back in results in the same problem, even though I know for sure that I am putting in the right password.

I've now reset the password for a third time and am back in, but I know when I return later tonight, I'll be logged out and won't be able to log back in until I reset it again.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

John

Check if you are using the US/UK keyboard

I don't understand what you mean. I am using a US keyboard, but why does that matter? I am typing in the proper letters one at a time. Not sure what else I need to check.

I'm only able to respond to your post because once again I had to reset my password and re-login that way. I've also noticed that the sign in page is not a secure site, which doesn't seem especially safe to me.

Https is available on this site.

Ok and the language for your computer is set to is US? It matters because character encodings may be different.

Open a text file and see if the password you type in is typing in correctly.

Wow, the problem wasn't the password, it was the user name! For some reason a different user name (albeit one I use on pretty much every other forum) was pre-entered into the sign in page, and I needed to change it to my full name.

So yeah, feeling a little foolish, but I appreciate the help!
