I'm having trouble logging into the forum on any other device apart from the laptop I've been using for 10 years which is now so slow as to be virtually unuasable.
I've got a new Windows device and a new Mac device that I use more often.
Looking at the remembered passwords in google on this old laptop it's weird because it says I have 2 accounts for this forum.
Nether of the passwords can be the one that the forum is showing as my password for this forum as one has 8 characters the other 16 characters, whereas my password in my personal section here has 10 characters.
The 16 character one must have been automatically generated as I do not recognise it, so somehow that one must have been generated when I started this forum and I must have changed it but not remembered it in google passwords. But nevertheless it logs me in automatically on this laptop, presumably with this 10 digit unknown password.
The only answer is to change it again from the forum but this could come with risks given the oddness so far.
