  Hi,

  I’m currently spending a bit of time in hospital. Fortunately the hospital has wifi.
  “I’ll at least be able to work on my self hosted sites” I thought.

  However, when I go to the login page, I just can’t seem to get in. I enter the username and password, hit the enter button and the page just refreshes with the user/password fields empty again.
  It’s like it’s not even registering the login attempt.
  It’s not my firewall blocking it (as I don’t get an email notification etc).

  Do wordpress installations just not like you accessing them on public wifi?
  Or does anyone know of a workaround?

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