While showing one of my friends around my repository, and introducing Fossil for the first time to her, I noticed I was having difficulty logging into my repository.

To reproduce:

1.  Clear all cookies belonging to chiselapp.com from browser.
2.  Visit chiselapp.com and log in.
3.  Click on public repositories.
4.  Click on "Edit" next to "kestrel-2dx".  Change password to "frobnicate".
5.  Log out.
6.  Clear all cookies belonging to chiselapp.com from browser again.
7.  Visit chiselapp.com and search for "kestrel" in the project search entry.
8.  Click on "kestrel-2dx".
9.  Click on "login".
10.  Enter username "kc5tja" and "frobnicate" as the password.
11.  Boggle the mind as you wonder why it did not log you in.

I noticed that authentication also is failing via command-line as well (tested before changing any of my passwords):

    kc5tja@enif:~/tmp/kestrel-2dx/trunk/tools/host-fse$ fossil sync
    Sync with https://kc5tja@chiselapp.com/user/kc5tja/repository/kestrel-2dx
    Round-trips: 1   Artifacts sent: 0  received: 0
    Error: login failed
    password for kc5tja: 
    remember password (Y/n)? ^C

Thanks.

After a little over 2 1/2 years, this is undoubtedly moot. Closing.
