Your password doesn't work [fixed]

Thursday 1:44pm local time (GMT +10)

We're holding all your sites hostage until we get.. [Dr Evil voice:] ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

No, just kidding. Starting about 15 minutes ago, authentication stopped working. So control panels are inaccessible, and if you have a password-protected site, that's inaccessible too.

Sorry about this. Your data is still safe, just slightly more secure that you want it to be. So please hang tight while we sort it out with the hosting people.

I'll post updates here.

all good.

You can now delete your own site

There is now an option to delete your own site in your control panel. Hooray! 50% of our support requests are "Please delete my site, I [don't need it/want to create it again]", so this will cut down the support workload considerably I hope.

49% are "I forgot my password" so that will be the next thing to address. The best ways to provide a "forgot password" page involve collecting an email address for each site, so there are some issues there since we currently don't do that.
