Logging In To This Forum

I had to change my password here very recently because it was found in conjunction with the email I use here on the dark WEB. Since changing the password there is a problem logging in. On my first attempt it says something along the lines of the information could not be found. It them presents me with a different screen to try logging in again. I use the same username and password that just failed on my previous attempt and it then logs me in. Now before you think I may have typed something wrong on my first attempt let me explain that when putting the cursor in the user name field that name pops up and I only have to click on it. As far as the password goes, I do not remember any of my passwords so I have a spreadsheet with all of them listed and just copy and paste them. So making a typing error is not possible. Can this login problem be corrected so I get logged in on my first attempt as it always used to do?

 

Thank you for the reply. First let me say that every time I try to log in here or anywhere else, for that matter, I am always asked if I want to save the password. I never do. However, I did as you suggested and found no saved logins or passwords for Major Geeks or anywhere else.

Not sure if this is of any help but, I was logged out of here and when I clicked of the link, "To View this thread," in the email I received I had to log in and it worked as it should. I don't believe it will work that way if I hadn't clicked on that link. I will log out, give it a few hours, and try logging back in.

 

Thank you. I will give all this a try.

 

Do you use the 2-step authentication on this forum?
Have you cleared the cookies from the browser?
Have you tried a different browser?

 

No I do not use 2-step authentication.
Yes I have cleared the cookies.
No I have not tried a different browser. However, that was to be my next step if the problem happened again. Yesterday after I cleared FF's history and cookies, (which is supposed to be done automatically when I close FF) I have been able to sign in here as I always have in the past. Maybe that fixed the problem. I hope so.

Thank you for your help.

 

That’s most likely fixed the problem. I hope all remains fine for you.
