That is one fancy log in page...not even a "forgot password" link.

Its funny how defensive HN readers are. I love HN and its content but I'm just wondering why there isnt a forgot password link? Seriously...?

I wondered that for a while, too. But there is a forgot password link, actually. You just have to enter your username and leave the password field blank, and then hit "login." You'll then be presented with a link to get a newly-generated password in an email.

That's... intuitive.

It's not supposed to be, it's a hacker filter. Same with the color scheme, design, etc.

I think that it's not just blank passwords, incorrect ones too.

Hmm, I just get a "Bad login." response as usual - regardless of the browser.
