  Hi, recently I experienced login problems. This is what happens:
  1. Whenever I log out and I want to log in, the system does not recognize my password and username.
  2. I then create a new password using the generate password feature.
  3. I then log in using the newly generated password.
  4. I copy and save the newly generated password since it is complicated to remember.
  5. When I want to log in using that new password, the system could not recognize it either, so I keep on creating new passwords every time I want to log in to my account.

  To me, this is not usual. What could be the cause?
  I even tried to create my own password not the generated one, and the same story continued. Is this a new way to protect blogs from bad guys or someone tempered with my WordPress.com account?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can’t re-use a generated password. You have to use it to sign in, change the password to something else, and go from there. Use the new, chosen password from then on.
