What gives with the password recognition system in the Windows 7 forums? I am now on the fifth password in less than a week even though I cut and paste from the passwprds sent to me by e-mail. :devil::devil::devil:

Are you perhaps forgetting them? I haven't heard of any password issues here before.

When you cut & paste, be careful not to also copy the space immediately after the last character of the password.

Thanks for the replies folks:
1. I do not add a space at the end of the cut. In fact, every one of the new passwords I have been sent works the first time. The second time they do not work even if I type them in manually.
2. Over the period of time I have been using the Windows 7 Forums services (AT least seven years)I have changed my password at least three times and after a period of time I get the response that the system does not recognize it. In this latest case I have been using passwords mailed to me because when the system refused to recognize my latest password and I went in to change it, I entered the same password as I had been using. I got a message telling me the password was in use. Now, how my old password can be in use and not recognized beats me. In addition my e-mail address has remained unchanged for five years.

use your birthday with a capital letter and you`ll never get it wrong, and don`t ever copy and paste it.

I think you're missing the point: I don't get it wrong. I use the same password for almost everything that requires one.

I've asked one of the administrators to have a look at this.

The Seven Forums was founded June 2008, so the 5th anniversary will be in June this year...

I was referring to the Windows Forums in general. I also used it when I was running Vista and I note that many, if not all, the administrators are the same.
