Title: problem with site providing a password with login that is incorrect
Post by: glakedylan on August 27, 2020, 12:54:00 PM
everytime i try to login i have the login page automatically attempt to log me in
problem is, it automatically uses the wrong password, which i have no idea what
that wrong password is, where it came from, or why this happens.


i use lastpass extension on Chrome and the correct login information is recorded
there and i then need to copy password from that window and paste it into
the password box on the login page


it is not only that this gets old and is annoying,
every time i try to login, i end up with a login password error email message.


not sure how to fix this, not knowing why and how an auto password is seemingly
provided by either TRW or something with Chrome
any way to determine what needs to be done to correct this.


thanks so much! appreciated!
Gary

You need to delete the password that Chrome has saved.

Go to 'Settings -> Passwords (under Autofill) -> find 'therailwire.net' and delete it.

thanks for the reply
but i have never activated the chrome password saver
and i check it all the time and it indicates that
it is not turned on and there are no passwords saved???
that was the first thing i checked months ago when this
started happening.


sincerely

got is solved


played around with lastpass extension
found that it was set tpo autofill
which explains why when clicking on the favorites/bookmark
it would try to login before i could place the correct info in the boxes
yet, it does not explain why it had a password connected to that
entry other than the correct one which shows up in all the other
searches and edits in lastpass
nonetheless, now it just takes me to login page
where i can add info necessary and click login
and presto, it works!
that's one PITA taken care of
