Must make new password every time I log on

Every time I try to log on, the site says I entered the wrong password. I go through the procedure for creating a new password and post or respond to a post, and the next time I want to log on I go through the same ridiculous process again. NOT worth it!

Sorry to hear that.

PW's are case sensitive...capitol letters, no capital letters. Has to be consistent...

Download keepass at http://keepass.info, a free utility that will generate a random password using upper, lower, numeral and character including ascii if want, up to 50 characters. Once you've gotten them set all you do is copy and paste user name and password and off you go. I've been using it for 6 or 8 years and never a problem. An example of a solid 25 character password:

$wzÖçN.ÿ«±vX7âÔæRxÒC3öÿ½Å

All you need is an easy to remember one to open the application.
