Comment:

 Excuse me? This is not a support problem, several people have verified it
 and it is a bug introduced in 2.6!

 I have the same exact problem that others have reported, and it has not
 been resolved by any "support" action - clearing cookies, different
 browsers, changing passwords, etc. etc. have not worked. The correct login
 credentials result in the login screen being shown over again with no
 error. Incorrect creds result in an error as expected.

 I have a feeling this has to do with, oh, I don't know, the switch to a
 new login cookie system. There could be a bug somewhere in all that new
 code, so humor me.

 I can open a new bug if this one is too different or old. Thanks.
