Client won't accept my changed password [SOLVED]

[Foxt]

I used to play on FAF years and years ago, want to get back into it at long last. I tried to recover my account password and the client won't accept the password change, denying my login. I tried to make an entirely new account with a different email, as well, and that also failed. Am I missing a step? This is pretty frustrating.

Make sure you're logging in with your username, not email.

[Foxt]

I am, no luck.

make sure you spell your password correctly
what happens when you try to log in on the faforever website?

[Foxt]

I very much doubt I have spelled my password incorrectly 10 times in a row.

The FAForever website also rejects my login as invalid, and if I try to register it says my email is already registered.

[PhilipJFry]

well then you must enter the incorrect password (or username)
try resetting your password via the website i guess

Finally got it working by trying ancient login IDs I used to use until one worked. Was a headache, but this game is worth it. Thanks.
