I just followed the steps, but I'm getting a "Bad login." message when I try to sign in using Chrome's incognito mode. How long before the new username/password combo works?

It should work immediately. So either you mistyped something or incognito mode does something that breaks login.

I can't see it being the latter. I've used incognito mode to test logins for web development and there's nothing out of the ordinary.

Make sure you use correct capitalization of your username. The login screen is case sensitive. (Which seems crazy to me)

It's working now, so I guess it was the capitalization, thanks.
