[QUOTE="krs, post: 1820960, member: 67742"] Thanks Patrick, I had already looked at the Firefox profile several times and checked the password saved there to make sure it is the one I had set. As I mentioned before - logging in automatically with Firefox works fine when I log in using the FF bookmark, so there is no problem that way. Where I have a problem is when I click on the link in the notification email. What is also happening I just noticed is if I end up with the 'wrong' webpage when logging in via the email link, if I then log in via the FF bookmark (which works) and then go back and log in again using the same email link as before, it works. But it only seems to work for a certain period of time, eventually the link in the email takes me back to the forum web page where I'm not logged in. Just now I actually had to wait 15 minutes before I could even try to log in because I used too many wrong log in attempts. Another thing I noticed is that when one resets the password, there are actually two emails that one is suppsed to get, on at least two occasions I only received one and on the forum website where one enters a new password, the original password filed was prepopulated, but with dots, so I assumed the software provided the correct password. Last time around I received an email with a link and then a second email with a temporary password. I used the temporary password to change the password to match what is shown in the FF profile - let's see if that helps. [/QUOTE]
