Log in issues?

    I tried to log in to my dashboard today, and repeatedly, it told me my password was incorrect. I checked that caps lock wasn’t on, that I was typing everything correctly, etc. etc. and still, repeatedly it told me my password was incorrect. I recall someone else posting about this, but couldn’t find the thread.

    Is this something that’s happened to others with the upgrade, or just me?

    I had to finally just put in as a forgotten password to get the link sent to my mail so that I could use the link to ask them to send me a new one (it’s a 2 step process) and then use the new one to get into my blog. I’ll have to now, go back into my settings and change my password to something I’ll remember.

    Just wondering why this happened and if it’s happened recently to anyone else.

    Rain mentioned it once a couple of months ago, but she later decided her keyboard was acting up. That’s the only reference I’ve seen.

    Hmm. Well, it has happened to me once before but I never thought much of it. I know my keyboard is fine because It’s been in use a fair bit (just not on the blog) and no problems so far.

    Odd.
