Help talk:Logging in

This is the user of this pageUser:Middle East bird study, I registered with a username but did nor need my email. I have tried logging in but it is refusing to allow me, instead opting with a strange jumbled word capcha that i have to complete. I have put the right password, I know my right password and have successfully logged in before, but it seems to be obstructing me despite this, saying that i have to try again in 5 minutes 178.152.156.164 (talk) 15:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Per the box at the top, this is not the page to ask for help. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

I confirm that correct login information is sometimes refused and a CAPTCHA test is required when logging in to an account that does not have a registered email address. This has happened to me several times since I removed the email address from my account (which I did because I don't always have easy access to that email system and I became unable to log in when traveling after the login system changed). If I recall correctly (and I plan to double-check this), the system gives an incorrect error message when this happens – saying the login information was incorrect even though it was correct. I have modified the information provided on the help page to provide information about this. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:09, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

I cleared all data on Firefox but I can't stay logged in for one year. Achmad Rachmani (talk) 00:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
