effte Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I have a new computer, and somehow some stored passwords didn't seem to survive the transition. On the main site, digitalcombatsimulator.com (NOT the forum), I tried using the password recovery feature. It worked as far as getting me an email with a link to follow, which led me to a page where I can enter a new password. So far, so good. However, it tells me: The password must contain at least 6 symbols. no matter what I do. Six characters, eight characters, eight characters with figures and symbols, uppercase, lowercase... I'm at a loss. Could it be triggering on my five character user name? Please advice. I want to get A-10C downloaded and installed afresh...

effte Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Ahem... figured it out. The "six symbols" line is there from the start, as a general piece of advice. When you enter a new password, the password is changed but you're sent back to the form with the "six symbols" line... tricking me into believing nothing had happened. I've probably changed password 80 times tonight. Now I'm logged in, with a new password. Problem solved, but changing that form to give some kind of feedback when the password is successfully changed might be a good idea. Thanks anyway!

EtherealN Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I'll bring it up with the admin.
