I've just added a title blacklist entry to semi-protect all subpages and translations of this page, since they were vandalized 4 times just today (!), which is really getting out of hand.
Help talk:Logging in
I can't change the password. It always says, that the channel is not secure to transfer the new password. But I have a SSL connection to the website.
Are you using this form? Special:ChangePassword
I mean on my website. Here I haven't tried.
Maybe MediaWiki doesn't recognize the page as being served by https.
If your website is served by a reverse proxy and behind an internal network, be sure to pass the protocol being forwarded. On nginx you usually add a X-Forwarded-Proto request header with:
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme
There is no link to reset password or anything.
this is me
but I can't get Forgot password to send me anything. Has it just been too long since my last login?
I have an account reference. An account number. A password. But not what name should be used even though I have tried my own. What next?
How do i change a User Name?
How do i find a Help page that answers this question?
I've been a member since 2017 and a few times a year i try again. been missing a long time <sigh>
Why cannot i log in?
Maybe your administrator blocked it? I seem to be having the same problem and it only says that its blocked by administrator so maybe ask the administrator to unblock
click the "Stay Logged In" button
I dislike this new (a few weeks old?) feature, when you use the en:middle-click to "Log out" yet it doesn't log out but instead asks you in the new background browser tab: "Do you want to log out?". Can I disable this new function or make it force-log out when "log out" is clicked? I want it to work like it did before for years. Sometimes I like to stay on the page where I log out, so I use the "middle-click log out" strategy to do that on many websites, including Wikimedia.
I just tried to create a new login with Codecs who apparently use mediawiki to create new login accounts. I successfully created a new mediawiki login which (I think maybe?) is intended as some sort of universal login for every project/organisation associated with mediawiki? The process was very opaque to me. I’ve no idea what mediawiki is but when I tried to use this new ‘universal’ login with Codecs it didn’t work because their site didn’t recognise the user name and password. How is this to be fixed? Thanks.
I swear I know my password, but whenever I try to log-in to any MediaWiki website other than the afromentioned, it says that "Username or password is incorrect", I tried checking my cookies and they look allowed, is it related to my username or what?
Hi. I use Pattypan tu upload files and I had no problem until a few days ago. But now it's impossible. I can log in and upload files manually, but not with the bot Pattypan.
Have you any idea how to solve this problem ?
Thanks.~~~~
Some recent login issues are mentioned on the Commons talk page, but it would probably be better to report problems on their github issues page.
Thanks, Clump. I see that I am not alone with this problem.
