I just returned after some time away and found that I no longer remember my password. No problem; I clicked "Forgot my password" and got a temporary one.
Now to replace the temporary password with one I hopefully can remember. Problem. I entered the temporary password on the "Change password" page, then typed and confirmed my new password, and I got an "Invalid Password" message.
Really? I copied the password from the email the site sent me. I pasted it once to log in, and again to authorize the change. No way it can be wrong. (And yes, I pasted into an editor after that to confirm that I hadn't copied something else into the clipboard by accident.)
What now? I know I'm not going to remember that temporary password when I come back.
