Mail Sign In Rejects Correct Password and Then Forces Password Reset On First Try
Good afternoon. I have used Ma Bell for my Internet and E-Mail for well over a decade. My E-Mail address' doman is Bellsouth. Recently, and repetitively, the E-Mail sign in system rejects my log in. At the sign in screen, I log in and enter my password. It then tells me that I have entered my password incorrectly too many times and it forces me to reset my E-Mail. I entered the right password. I only entered my password, which was correct, once. It then completely locks me out, and does this every time I have to log back in. My maternal grandparents are experiencing the exact same issue. My grandmother said that if this isn't fixed soon, they will quit Ma Bell's E-Mail program altogether, and just use some crappy alternative like the G-Mail. Why is this happening to me? I inputted the correct password and it not only rejects it, but makes me reset my password! My only saving grace is that it lets me re-input the same password every time. God have mercy on me. I can't take this. -TURTLESHROOM

I am also having the same issue with sbcglobal.net. I asked @ATTHelp to move this to next level support in another thread. I would guess this is happening for everyone with legacy accounts. A similar issue happened about a year ago. This is a huge dissatisfier to their legacy customers.
