It always seems to take me multiple tries to login - at least 2, often 3. (I always logout when I'm done, I don't let it remember me "forever").

Today, I typed my password into notepad and copied it; I pasted it in to the password field for this site after entering my id.

First two times, I got "invalid password". Third time, it worked. Exact same password since I was copy/pasting it.

Any ideas?

Why are you yelling???

I don't know your answer. I'll check the website. Be sure, however, to check "forever".

btw...I'm taking a break to concentrate on my medical issues. Got to. jb orders. So ekg's in charge, whereever she is. Please keep this place alive in my honor.

I'm old, I like bigger type. Yelling would have been all caps!

sorry about the medical issues. JB will take good care of  you!

Copying and pasting from notepad,word..etc for whatever reason skews the characters.  I tried blogginh in both and pasting into the blog and  I would always have random characters like ¥#¢£ and so on showing in place of real letters

Could be the same here.

Happens whether I type it in or if I copy/paste. And what I copy/paste won't work the first time but will work the second or third time, so don't think it's random characters. Not sure what's going on.
