Comment # 4 on bug 1191433 from Frank Steiner

Very strange... When I chose password reset and entered frank-steiner, the
system sent me an email with a link for resetting the password for this user.
Shouldn't it be the same user/pw for all the opensuse.org services like
bugzilla, forum, wiki etc.?
And when I tried to register and chose frank-steiner as username it said the
name would already exist. And in contrast to other combinations the login
doesn't throw the "username/passwort combination is invalid", so it recognizes
the user and pw as correct.

Very confusing... It sounds like the username/pw exists in idp-portal.suse.com
but is not registered for using the forums. Is that possible?

I also tried to recover the pw for user FrankSteiner as it is one of my emails,
but it says there was no contact information for this user and so the pw could
not be recovered...

And I registered a new user from the "register" link on the forums page,
frank-steiner2. It's the same: I enter the username and pw at the login link
and am sent back to the forums page without error, but I'm not logged in.
