    New passwords are (I suspect) time limited: so when you get the new password log in with it, and then immediately use it to change the password to something you will remember!

      All passwords must be changed to "Heartbleed1" - didn't you get the email?

        Perhaps that is only a temp password and after a few days it expires. After you log in with that password change it to a permanent one and see if that makes a difference.

            Here's a portion of the email sent to you when you click "Forgot your password?": Thank you for joining CodeProject, a community of Software Developers who have come together to share source code, articles and tutorials. A request was made to send you your email and password for CodeProject. Your details are as follows: Logon email : **[yourEMailAddress]** Password : **[someRandomesquePassword]** This request came from IP address: **[IPAddress]** **This password is a temporary password.** If you happen to remember your old password then it is still valid and will work. If you log in using this new temporary password then your old password will be replaced by the new one. Hence, since the password is TEMPORARY, that's the cause of you having to "reset" your password. Thus, change it ... both the password and your habit of not changing it when such is necessary to prevent you from having to once again change it.

                No - but mine already was "Heartbleed1" so that's probably why... ;)
