EXTREMELY annoying. Why is this and how do I fix it? This cannot possibly be by design.

    What is the message you're getting each time you are asked to reset your password?

    Is this behavior happening in multiple browsers?

    It tells me in red

    "You need to reset your password. This is most likely because an administrator recently changed your account information. Click here to reset your password."

    I have to do this every time and it happens in all browsers.

    Thank you for the details on the message coming up. I've went ahead and reset the password on the forum account one more time. After this reset lets see if it stops any subsequent password resets.

    Thank you for the update. I'm currently looking into this further to find out what may be causing this behavior with your login.

    I tried logging in with email instead of account name and it works now.
