can you log into your account, or is it just me? I haven’t logged in in a few days, and tried to do it this morning, but it kept returning me to the log in page. It didn’t show any error like incorrect username or password, so I’m confused. Let me know if I’m not the only one having trouble.
Works fine for me! I haven’t logged in for a while, but just tried it then to test it out. No problems.
I can log in just fine. (Just checked!)
Your account may have been “phished.” Somebody tried to break into it and you need to change your password to get your acount back in your control. It’s only happened to me once, and nothing bad happened…but my boss had somebody post bulletins of every single private message she had written in the prior week. Thankfully they were silly and innocuous–obviously personal–messages, but still.
Change your password ASAP.
Just a bit of net.paranoia, but have you tried it through different browsers, and by entering the URL directly, not by following a link in an email or web page? Some emails have inaccurate links that go to phising pages, and some malware will put an auto-redirect into Internet Explorer. These can both be used to direct you to a fake login page that does nothing but harvest your username and password.
I came across a link that redirected me to log in (again) to myspace. The SO pointed out that the url was rnyspace . com - looks like MYSPACE.com but in reality it is RNYSPACE.com
Ok. Ugh. Myspace does this occasionally. It doesn’t mean you’ve been hacked/phished/whatevered. It just means that when you don’t pay for a site, don’t expect it to always work perfectly. Try this, and see if it helps:
[ul]
[li]Close all but one browser window[/li][li]Click on “Internet Options”[/li][li]Click the “Delete Cookies” button, wait for it to finish deleting all your cookies*[/li][li]Click on “Delete Files” button[/li][li]Check the “Delete all offline content” radio button[/li][li]Click “OK”[/li][li]Wait for it to finish cleaning out your crap [/li][li]Click on the OK button for the Internet Options dialog box[/li][li]Close your browser, open a new one and then try to login to Myspace[/li][/ul]
You may have to do this everytime you want to login to Myspace for a while, but then, all of a sudden, it will work just fine again. Can’t explain it, don’t know what the glitch is, but it happens to me, my spouse and my daughter sporadically.
**If you are one of those people who depend upon your computer having all your user id’s and passwords saved, be aware that this will wipe them out of the system. Unless you used the feature inherent in M$. If you don’t know of which I speak, nevermind
I’ve noticed the same thing, you can go through the “I forgot my password” routine to reset your password. It’s annoying, but luckily I don’t go there much anyway.
