I am not a new member- I am "HallsofIvy" but when I changed to "Windows 10" (so far I see little difference) I had to log into all my forums again. I was asked to give my internet sever name but have changed servers since I originally joined and could not remember the name- so I had to enroll all over again as "HOI" (the initials of "HallsofIvy"). (Oddly enough, I used to have a friend whose internet name was "Hog on Ice" which he abbreviated to "HOI". I never dared ask.)

No, it wasn't the password- I had to say what my internet server was when I originally joined and I do not remember that!

PF does not ask what your internet server or provider is when logging in. All you need is username and password.
 
You need an email address (this is not an "internet server" either, but it is more than username+password) to sign up, but not to log in.
