Someone showed me this thread. I'm so glad you made it. I made
This thread about my log-in problem.
Here's what I said in my OP
Quote:
Ever since the Log-in was changed to the new Facebook look I've been having trouble logging in successfully.
I copy paste my password. So I know it is correct. I've used it since I became a part of Gaia over a year and a half ago and have not had any problems. Until now. On this, and my other accounts, since the change to the Facebook log-in, my first attempt to log on often results in that "Uh oh" message telling me it failed. Either my username or password is incorrect and further failures will get me blocked for a bit. rolleyes
I know I am not making the mistake. So far my second attempt, doing the exact same thing I do for the first one, works and I get in. However, I do not want to lose access to my accounts because of this new problem. Please look into this and see why the new log-in is having such a hard time recognizing legitimate usernames and passwords.
I also found that for the accounts that I use to use Firefoxes Remember password function which have always worked before, they no longer work. You, know, where you click on the username and the dropdown shows up. At first they weren't showing up at all. Now they do sometimes. The worse problem with that, is if I try to use them and they auto-fill the username and password, these no longer are successful. I get the failed log in message again that says it's possibly a wrong username or password. Which of course it can't be wrong. I've used them for a year and a half now with no problem before the new Facebook log-in.
I also found that while being very careful to
clear the username and password sections even if they have something there or not, then pasting my username and password, I can be successful to a certain degree. But LIKE TODAY, it failed the first time too. I had to do it twice today. I'm wondering if those shadow words you have there now are causing the problem. Because I notice that when I use the auto-fill option, the shadow words "username" and "password" do not disappear. And that's why I have to "clear" the spaces first. Though, as I've just said, clearing the spaces first doesn't always work for a successful log-iin.
I use Windows XP with Firefox 3.0 browser
This. I've been *repeatedly* getting the "incorrect login" thing, and the url would end in .php. Had quite a few scares that I was somehow being redirected to a scamming site from the homepage, and many passwords were changed before a thread in SF told me it was legit. Then, after the login was changed, my mule's saved logins worked, but my main's was totally screwed up - clicking on first the username, then the password box, then the username box would get my pass to appear, but I'd have to type in my username manually each time, it refused to save.
So last night, I ended up clearing my saved passwords, and *cross my fingers*, it seems to have worked.
