Its funny how defensive HN readers are. I love HN and its content but I'm just wondering why there isnt a forgot password link? Seriously...?
I wondered that for a while, too. But there is a forgot password link, actually. You just have to enter your username and leave the password field blank, and then hit "login." You'll then be presented with a link to get a newly-generated password in an email.
That's... intuitive.
It's not supposed to be, it's a hacker filter. Same with the color scheme, design, etc.
I think that it's not just blank passwords, incorrect ones too.
Hmm, I just get a "Bad login." response as usual - regardless of the browser.
