Logging In Problem

Post Reply New Topic

This is a strange one.

Using four different computers recently, I've been locked out of WP on Chrome or Firefox, as follows (Y for login access, N for login denied).

Desktop (Win 8.1): Chrome Y, Firefox N

Laptop1 (Win 8.1): Chrome Y, Firefox Y

Laptop2 (Win 7): Chrome N, Firefox Y

Laptop3 (Win 7): Chrome N, Firefox N


What's really puzzling is that there doesn't seem to be any pattern or logic to this situation. I use the same combination of extensions on all these machines and browsers (uBlock Origin, uMatrix, Smart HTTPS), and disabling them or fiddling with their settings makes no difference.

Another oddity is that I can log in on the blocked browsers on a one-off basis, using the window that appears when replying to a post, but on leaving the page, am logged out again.

I've only noticed this issue over the past 24 hours or so. I was logged in on my desktop Firefox only yesterday. I suspect it might have some connection to the recent server move, and also have an ominous gut feeling that the dreaded Cloudflare may be involved in some way.

Has anyone else had similar logging in issues, or got any thoughts on this matter?

This is a rare day - I was able to access the web site. Usually I am told that I have an invalid password. If I try to change the password it tells me that it doesn't recognize my email. If I then try to create a new account with that same email I'm told that an account already exists with that email address.

I don't see a pattern here that would explain the problem.

I don't know how to contact the web administration to report the problem.

I'm using Chrome and Safari on an iMac and an iPad. All software is current.

Even if you post a helpful response here, I might not be able to get into the web site to read it.
