Title: Login failure, first attempt
Post by: winterjacket1 on April 25, 2012, 12:20 am
For a little over a week my first login attempt to SR fails. I pay careful attention to input the right info. It also works the second time.

Anyone else have this issue?

I've had the same issue, off and on, since I started using SR.

Every time I'm SURE that I'm at the right URL (always copied from my own personal bookmark file), and I've never been phished.

I always figured it was a server side error or I'm just terrible at entering my SR password.

Interesting you mention this.
I also have this problem around 70% of the time. I am definitely at the correct address.
I always thought I maybe just typed in passwd wrong, but maybe not.

I initially thought I was just entering the password incorrectly as well, but the frequency is considerably higher than with any other website that the login fails, so I think it's on their end.

This also happens to me around 80% of the time.  Always works 2nd time.  Maybe the captcha is messed up or something.

I get this a lot too. Probably fail with the captchas as people say.

Maybe the o with a strip is actually a zero lol

If not maybe your account got phished.

I decided it was aliens and deal with it. :)

Seriously though, I think its the captcha.

Yep, once in the past week that's happened to me.
Always the 2nd time it works though.
