@dd32 I’ve no idea where your info came from, but the fact is I hit a button in the registration process and then a page appeared advising me that I would get an email regarding a password. I didn’t set up a password. I probably left the browser tab open while checking email, but I was just waiting for the password email, not setting a password myself. I’m forgetful, but not quite *that* bad yet.

@macmanx it’s not that I don’t remember what I entered, it’s that I never got to set a password in the first place! When you go to create an account here you choose a username and give your email address. Then they send you a link to a page where you are supposed to create a password — except the link that was in the email only redirects to the www.remarpro.com home page!

Are you able to understand yet what is puzzling me? If not, let me try to clarify it one more time:

When I signed up for this site today, I did NOT have the opportunity to create a password to log in with. In spite of NOT having created a password, I WAS LOGGED IN SOMEHOW when I made the OP. After posting the second reply (above), the site logged me OUT, and I could not get back in without “resetting” a password that NEVER EXISTED in the first place.

All I want to know is why it happened this way! WHY does the link to initially create a password FAIL, then allow one to be logged in with NO password, then log you out and not let you back in until you “reset” a password that was not “set” in the first place?

Does that make sense? I hope it does, because I don’t know how to state it any more clearly. I mean, suppose I want to help a someone else to join this forum, and the same thing happens to them. I want to be able to explain the mystery. I have several friends who are a lot less patient than I am. If I help them to set up wordpress sites that I want them to eventually be able to manage on their own, it would be nice to be able to tell them to join this forum to ask their questions instead of relying on me, and they may have the same issues that I had in joining the discussions. If there’s a way to prevent that, I’d like to know what it is.

@macmanx I needed a password to be able to choose a password! I had to use “Lost password” to get back in here to post this reply. It makes NO sense to me why I needed to reset a password that I never got to create in the first place.

Maybe it doesn’t make sense to you and/or to @sterndata why something like this matters to me, as long as it is working. So let me explain: I have an Inquiring Mind. Ever heard the saying “Inquiring minds want to know”? Well, mine does. In fact, it won’t let me rest until I DO understand whatever it is that I am wanting to understand.

@sterndata All I need right now is to know how I managed to get logged in here without ever choosing a password, because if I choose to come back here at some point and find that I DO need to log in, I won’t be able to do it, because apparently I do not HAVE a password. And, like I said before, I’m pretty sure the same thing happened years ago when I signed up for an account at this site and was never able to use it again.
