Since yesterday, the username field populates with my registration email.

Trying to be helpful:
I think my password manager may be pre-filling it, but it's only started in the last couple of days. The password manager triggers on www.mumsnet.com/login though, so the glitch might not be coming from my end at all.

I don't mind trying a couple of experiments, but I'll have to keep logging out & in again to do them, so posting this first!

Hi OP

Please could we ask that you try clearing your cache and your mumsnet cookies?

GarlicGrace · 21/07/2023 21:35

Found it! The browser's password manager was pre-filling it. I've now removed Mumsnet from its saved passwords.

Still annoying for users relying on browser auto-fill, though. If it helps your tech people, it had the url listed as www.mumsnet.com/session/login.

Thanks, Lily. Not cache or cookies.

Same problem here today. Will look into your suggestions.

Having deleted cache and browsing data that didn't help.

For any future users, my issue was lastpass and I had to disable autofill for mumsnet. All is now fine.

Thanks for sharing those solutions, @GarlicGrace and @283nouveauxnoms - we're glad you're both sorted now but please let us know if you have any further issues with this.
