In reply to: Upgrade locked me outWhile I have no problem believing #2 (that’s where the “bug” is), the fact is that #1 is simply not the case. It’s far more easy for me to believe that you forgot or mistyped your password than it is for me to believe that your password hash changed in some arbitrary way without your being aware of it. Sorry, not trying to be rude, just being blunt about it.
My blunt response:
It is true. I use 1Password (OSX) to automatically enter my passwords. It was not altered in any way. I have also been using WP for over 4 years, and so I’ve been through many an upgrade process, so I know how it’s done. I can guarantee that I didn’t mess up my own login through mistyping, etc. I clicked the upgrade link, the upgrade completed, and instead of being automagically sent to wp-admin per usual, I was logged out without my touching the mouse, the keyboard, nothing. I’m sorry you don’t believe me, but that is what occurred. I have made some doozy errors with WP, PHP, MySQL, etc., but this event does not go on the list.
It’s fixed now, through my own doing. I hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

In reply to: Upgrade locked me outHowever, you old password should work fine, regardless of the secret key change. Just log in again and get the new cookie.
My old password did not work, and the new cookie/password generation did not work, either. I tried on both OSX and Linux, using different browsers as well. Jsut for clarification’s sake.

In reply to: Upgrade locked me outOtto, there is no need to be rude. I’m very sorry if you feel offended.
The truth is this:
1. The upgrade locked me out of my own installation, through no action of my own. I am positive of this.
2. The recover password link did not work. It sent an invalid key, upon repeated attempts.So a stable upgrade–not an alpha or beta–broke an existing feature, a feature not created or enhanced by any installed plugin.
I’m sorry if our pointing this occurrence out, or how we did so, offended you. Stating the above is not claiming anything personal about any of the developers.
I’d say, though, that an upgrade’s rendering an installation basically unusable on a standard, unhacked, previously stable setup is more than just a bug or glitch. It’s an important problem, and I should hope its existence and nature could be discussed without any such statements as “get over it” being thrown around. You won’t receive such treatment from me, so, naive though I might be, I expect the same from a forum moderator.

In reply to: Upgrade locked me outI was able to get in, after I changed my password via PHPMyAdmin (here’s the MD5 encryption tool I used) and changed the user_activation_key in PHPMyAdmin from its default.

In reply to: Upgrade locked me outI wonder if the culprit is the new secret key feature…:(
