I don't know if this is appropriate to add to this page, but I thought that it might help someone.

Like many users, I'm sure, I have an email just for my wiki username. User:Ragityman. Email:ragityman@gmail.com. Simple enough, right? So, I'm trying out a new browser, and I can't log in. I begin to get frustrated, I'm typing my password very carefully, double checking each character as I type. Won't work. Go to settings. Start changing things. Javascript. Cookies. Anything that's caused trouble in the past. Norhing helps. "Incorrect password, please try again." But it wasn't my password.

On some websites my "username" is my email address. NOT on Wikipedia. I had habitually typed @gmail.com w/username in the "USER" field, and that won't work.

Now some of you are young and bright and will never make that error. At least not for a few more decades. But we have an aging population, and I'll bet I'm not the only one to make this mistake. Just sayin' ... ~~~~
