[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1818799, member: 204485"] Well here it is, the next day. I attempted to login numerous times last night with different browsers on different devices and eventually tried to change my password using the "forgot my password" option. I received the temporary password via email, I copied the password to the clipboard and attempted to login only to receive the same message and this is my real complaint, I got the "Your User Name or Password is incorrect and you have used up your quota of unsuccessful login attempts." [B]What quota?[/B] I got this repeatedly after the [B]first[/B] unsuccessful attempt. Was I supposed to wait 15min after I received the emailed password? Perhaps thats where i went wrong. If so this is a glitch. If you have forgotten a login password and you enter the forgot password once and get locked out then press the Forgot Password button and receive a new one you should be able to use it straight away, if not then the email should inform you of this. I'm all for security but this is ridiculous. What is a quota of one about? Then i have to wait 15 min before trying again. I could understand three attempts but one? This morning on Chrome I managed to log in first try with the emailed password so now I'm going to try creating a new password from my settings page, back to square one. I'm beginning to wonder if some of the OP's that never reply to our answers have gotten stuck in the same loop and gave up. I did last night. [/QUOTE]
