Incorrect POL ID or password

[Jedd]

I'm glad to see someone else getting the same error as me. I thought my account might've been compromised at first, but my ID/password works just fine when I log into SE's Account Management website, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the current POL login issues. Logged in just fine in the morning, but ran into these problems in the evening.

By changing the POL password after I had changed my SQ ENIX password. For some reason it did not work right away, but it did take eventually.

So I reset the SQ ENIX account password, and in SQ ENIX account management, I followed this:
