It is confusing, to say the least. You follow a RFC link and notice that
your password does not work any more. So you follow the link after
'Forgotten your password? Get a new one', follow the actions and get a new
password. You try the password and it still does not work. There is no
reference to https://main.php.net/forgot.php anywhere
on the login page
for RFC's and the like.
