Earlier when I changed my username, the website kept on telling me that my password was wrong while logging in. Everytime that I clicked on "forgot my password" the site told me that I had reached my login treshold and to try again in 30 seconds. Even waiting thirty seconds, closing the tab and directly going to "forgot my password" told me the same thing.
I was able to fix this by going on an entirely different browser (from safari to puffin), but I have no idea if the problem is going to persist. This seemed like the most appropriate place to post this in. I don't know if it's because the website is being worked on or not, though it seems like the most plausible option.
