Stupid Digg Error Message on Password reset!Stupid Digg Error Message on Password reset!So I have a story that I wanted to Digg today and when I went to sign-in I apparently have forgotten my password. Not unusual since I regularly change my passwords like a good geek should. I happily look for the “Reset/ Retrieve your password here” link. Enter my email, wait 5 minutes and then check my mail. Link received as expected! Cool!

Click the link and I am greeted with the message on the right! WTH! I try resetting it again. Same message. This is the kind of thing that ultimately will keep a user from returning to a site and for me is something I will not waste any more time on today.
