 * Does this plugin not work with wordpress.com, but only wordpress.org? When I 
   turned the plugin on, it prompts users to “login with xyz username?” and when
   they click yes, they have to login in again, and it tells them their password
   is incorrect. Then when they try to reset their password, it tells them their
   username is not registered in wordpress?

 * Hi– thanks for using Force Login!
 * > Does this plugin not work with wordpress.com, but only wordpress.org?
 * Honestly, I’m not sure.
 * Force Login was built for and tested with the wordpress.org self-hosted version
   of WordPress; that’s not to say it wouldn’t also work on a wordpress.com site.
 * However, the issue you describe doesn’t sound like the expected login experience(
   at least with a wordpress.org site).
 * Have you tried deactivating all other plugins and switching to a default Twenty-
   something theme to verify this issue is not caused by a conflict with another
   plugin or your theme?

 * That would not be caused by Force Login.
 * All this plugin does is redirect visitors to the WordPress login screen when 
   they try to visit a page on the site. It does NOT handle or interfere with any
   user validation when you try to login or reset passwords.
 * I suspect something else is causing those “password is incorrect” and reset password
   issues you described.
 * Good luck!
