Password Tampering?

[missileman]

This is for @cdaquilla. I had to change my password so that I could log in. The message claimed that I had so many unsuccessful log ins that my account was blocked. Any others with similar problems? I have never had a problem with a log in so I wonder if it was just a fluke.

I believe this is being addressed here:

Why is one sign-in attempt too many?

It happens to me once or twice a week. I start at Cartalk.com, then click “community,” then enter username and password, then get the error message. I’ll try to remember to grab a screen shot the next time it happens. It happened today and I just waited 5 minutes and was successful the next try (on the same browser).

Many people are having logon problems. Rather than change password every time. I just go sort my sock drawer and try later.

I tried the waiting game but it didn’t work for me. I always log off because it’s a habit for me. I forgot to log off of eBay once and paid the price. Never again.

@missileman - it may be small consolation to you that no one is interfering with your password. @insightful is correct that the thread is addressing a known issue. It happens to me, too. I inquired about it once more after ok4450 and George mentioned it again.

Exactly! That’s it! Me, too!
Well, almost… I don’t sort your socks. I sort my own.
I don’t go in for that type of thing.
