Because it is fairly common for people to mis-type their password when trying to log in, we have made some changes to the login process. Now, if you type your password incorrectly, our system will send you an email containing both your correct password AND the password you tried to enter, so you can see where you got it wrong. So, if you can’t log in and our system says you typed your password incorrectly, please check your email. To keep your life simpler, we recommend saving all of your usernames and passwords in your browser (if your browser offers that feature), or installing RoboForm, which remembers all the usernames and passwords for all the sites you use. RoboForm can even fill in your address and credit card information when you’re ordering stuff online. (No, we are not affiliated with RoboForm; just a satisfied customer.) Please let us know if you like the new login process, or if you hate it or have any problems with it.
