This all started with me wanting to add Eight Forums to an Android tablet. Try as I might I can not get my password to work. I've taken it up to four failed attempts and then logged in under Windows to reset things. The same thing happens on Vista Forums.
What has come as a big surprise is that my password isn't being accepted under Windows either if I type it manually. If I do a copy and paste of it from notepad then I'm straight in every time. I'm really puzzled over this... and I know what some of you are thinking... oh he's just typing it incorrectly... but no, I'm not. Once maybe, twice, maybe if careless... but not time after time after time and a couple of hours later trying to resolve the issue.
I would never have found this out normally, because under Windows I use a cookie file (import) to reinstate all my favourite sites login details. Curiosity got the better of me with the Android login not working and thats how I found its not working under Windows as a manual login.
Whats going on ?
(FWIW, there is another unrelated site doing the same. I maxed out my logins under the Android, got blocked and had to reset my password. Except it didn't work. Back on Windows after clearing ALL login data and the newly set up password wasn't functional. The old one was. So the input from the Android was not accepted for some reason)
