Password rant!!!!

[imanaknut]

In a couple of days I will be celebrating my 17th year with Gunsnet. In that time I have had a small hand in developing the site.

Twice a year we are mandated to change our password. I use a set only for Gunsnet, and as such makes it very easy to remember. Regardless, when asked to change my password over the years there have been several times where I had trouble, but usually never like last night and today.

Last night I got my update mandate and entered my normal second half of the year password. I then entered a first half of the year password. I was rejected being told that my password was incorrect. Really??? I have used it many times in my administrative responsibility, but suddenly it isn't right???

So I went through the "forgot password" button and was emailed a link to go to that would bring me here to click on a link back to my email with a temporary password. When I went back last night, I sat by my email for an hour and never received the second email with the password.

Went back to this website and had no trouble moving around as always and figured it must have automatically updated and I was fine... WRONG!!!!

Turned on the internet this afternoon and was in the standard welcome to gunsnet screen. When I tried to log in I again was told my password was wrong. After just about giving up, I decided to try the "forgot password" button. Went to my email, got the link directing me back here, clicked on the send temporary password button and went back to my email. MAGIC! There was a new password.

Came back to this site, entered the new password and was told that my password was incorrect. Of course this was my 5th attempt and I had to wait 15 minutes for it to reset. Came back after the 15 minutes, re-entered the emailed password and amazing, here I am!

Then I went to try to find where to update my password. I have been on this site 17 years, set up many of it's operating rules and I CAN'T FIND THE UPDATE PASSWORD LINK!!!!!!!

Can you, my friends tell I am not happy!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
