accounts.centos.org states:
You can also use your Fedora account to login here.
However, when I attempt to enter my credentials there, I observe:
Unauthorized: bad credentials.
What does this mean?
The Environment
Powered by noggin v1.11.0 (stable:d236f5e)
Recently, I entered the undermentioned: > Powered by [`noggin`](https://github.com/fedora-infra/noggin) `v1.11.0` (`stable:d236f5e`) …at another Discourse instance: It was quoted from the cited website. When it is rendered, all of the small...
@augenauf , perhaps, this is restricted to specific account group membership?
I can imagine that you have to be in a separate FAS (Fedora Account System) group for getting acces. Normally we do use single login over FAS.
To just read, you not need special access (login). Just for testing (create, edit, delete) you need a separate access in discourse on the staging instance. Generally this is solved with FAS. As you not are in such a special FAS group, the system believes you have a login issue and redirects you to the validation page.

It works for me…
I can log in too. And it looks like I logged in the first time today.
@rokejulianlockhart a session cooky with wrong attributes can change everything.
I use Firefox and there I can delete selective cookies/cache and you might just remove it for https://accounts.centos.org and try it again?
What catches my attentions since you signed up is, your extreme long alias and your long display name. Could this not also be a source of errors? Poor admins try to find you in the systems while making a typo in your alias
Just if it is about the ask-fedora FAS group? You are in two groups which let you do quite a lot.

Well, if so then it’s a bug. If the system allows a username / alias / display name to be created, then it should handle it correctly in all places.
I referred more to typos (human made errors). This saved in caches, can cause a lot of headache.

Can you say a bit more about this? How does a human-made typo get into a cookie?
I changed my wording:

Better so?
Btw. did you read the tickets in infra? There have been a lot of issues about “time out’s” etc. Noggin is specially mentioned.

Sorry, I still don’t understand how “typos saved in caches” would cause the problem OP is describing here.
An issue with Noggin does sound more likely.
@pg-tips , it was a theoretical tangent of theirs.
In retrospect, @pg-tips , that appears to be so:
My FAS password is comprised of 128 characters. It is accepted, when authenticating at accounts.fedoraproject.org. This should be usable for CentOS, too: | ### Description of request

Perhaps, I should have filed that at Noggin’s repository, though.
