- ninkendo 12y agoOn my machine, Safari misinterpreted the password change form to be two "new password" fields, and didn't get that the first field was an "old password" field. So it auto-filled a new password for both fields, and it was rejected because the old password didn't match. FYI, don't try and "fix" this by erasing the top password and filling your old one in... that will cause safari to forget that you're generating a new password, and it won't commit the new password to the keychain (and you're now locked out.) Safari fares better on the password reset link though, which has two "new password" fields and that's it.
