First of all, let me assure you that I am talking about the NORMAL "i want to change my password, so I'm going to go to Account Settings and I'm going to type in my old password and then my new password twice." scenario.
I've done it twice tonight, and both times the following happens:
1. I go to [my logo] -> Account settings
2. I enter only the new and old passwords (no other changes) and press "Change Profile"
3. I immediately get an error page stating "The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist."
4. If i try to access any link, I am obviously not logged in anymore (but the [my logo] menu in the upper left kind of thinks i might be logged in)
5. After clicking a few links I get an error "To many login attempts"
6. When I go to the login screen and enter my NEW password, i am immediately told it is not valid in red/pink text.
7. When I go to the login screen and enter my OLD password, it accepts it, BUT takes me back to step 4 above, and I am not logged in.
8. Then the login page gets pissed at me and tells me i have to wait 30, 80, 120 seconds, etc
The only way out of this purgatory is to use the "lost password" link and reset my password that way. Then I'm golden (i think...)
fingers crossed...
