login.launchpad.net tells me "Bad bot, go away! Request aborted."

Solution 1:

Although this is fixed for LastPass Users, the underlying issue was not solved.

The login form contains an honeypot field named "openid.usernamesecret". It is made invisible by CSS property "display:none". It's the bad boy here: It will also be filled by other password managers (KeeFox in my case), with your old username.

<div style="display: none;">
    <label>Dieses Feld leer lassen, um zu beweisen, dass Sie ein Mensch sind
        <input name="openid.usernamesecret" value="[email protected]" type="text">
    </label>
</div>
  • So delete the entry from KeePass2 / KeePassX / LasstPass or other form helper addon (remember your password though).
  • Make sure the field is empty when you reload the page, before you login (check with Firebug or Web Inspector). In case you don't know how to use those tools, just restart Firefox.

Solution 2:

I contacted LastPass support, and they provided the following suggestion:

  1. Please remove the site in question from your vault (have your username and password handy)
  2. And re-save using Save All Entered Data functions: https://helpdesk.lastpass.com/adding-a-site/#h1
  3. try clearing cache by going to Lastpass icon> Tools> Advanced> Refresh sites and then clear local cache, log out then log back in. Test the issue again.

This seems to have resolved my issue, and I am once again able to log in to launchpad etc.

Solution 3:

In my case, It was the problem with the inbuilt password manager in firefox I had to clear the website preferences and Delete the password entry in firefox lockwise

Just go to,

= -> Passwords -> Search for login.launchpad.net -> and delete the login

Don't forget to remember the password. I think reporting this as a bug in the site is better.
