 Maybe I am missing something, but the sidebar widget login included in bp-
 default theme does not set the test cookie which is accessed by wp-
 login.php. A fresh browser with no cookies gets an error saying "your
 browser does not accept cookies" and is redirected to wp-login.php which
 successfully sets the test cookie. A subsequent login (also through the
 sidebar widget) works.

 I found a solution (5 years old) in this thread (post by jeffbaier):
 [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-requires-cookies-username-
 field-empty-password-field-empty-on]

 Would be nice to include this in header.php in the next release.
