Can't log in after upgrade to 3.8.5

[Gary Fischman]

I just upgraded to 3.8.5, and no one can log in. I can not get in as Admin, and users can not get in.
When trying to reset password, it is impossible to get a string match on the image verification.
Tried registering a new user, can not do it due to inability match image verification.
Tried deleting all cookies and history, and restarting browser - no change.

Help! I'm down for the count!

Which version did you run before the upgrade? Was that 3.8.4. PL2? And could you please tell me what the steps we're that you have made?

Thank you for sharing the details.

That is the wrong username and/or password:
"You have entered an invalid username or password."
If you are sure the username is correct, then you can use this link to reset your password

Follow by a link to my forum reset password.

Arghhh ....... don't think I and other people can have the same problem mistyping our nick and password like that.....

What kind of support is this?

What a mess...

I have read nothing but problems with people upgrading to 3.8.5.

Many different topics and problems, and now this.....

I think I will just leave mine alone and stay with the 3.8.4 pl 2.......

Sorry VBulletin......what will happen if I don't upgrade?

Add me to the list. Same thing happened to me. It actually logged me out but I was able to get back in after deleting cookies......

Hello my fellow vB-users,

Read this for the solution; http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt....0.3&p=1964377

Guys, reverting back to 3.8.4pl2 won't fix the issue. We have the same issue on 3.8.4pl2 -- all of the sudden a users password stops working and sometimes even clearing the cookies doesn't fix it. Sometimes the user needs to use a completely new/separate browser and that works.

I posted about it here and got no assistance. We've seen this on mulitple sites on different servers and nothing seems to fix it other then having the user do cookie resets or using a different browser.

Even cutting and pasting the password in from the password reset email won't allow the user in when it happens.

I think this is something VB really needs to fix. It's a support nightmare.
