OK, for all users who have got into this situation:
Don't do anything. Just wait a day or two and try again.
Now it lets me login after answering the captcha.

On https://tracker.phpbb.com/

It says password incorrect.

Now I enter a different password.

Now it asks me to answer a captcha.

Now that fails too.

It doesn't say if the captcha is incorrect, or if the password is
incorrect.

OK maybe I forgot my password.

BUT THERE IS NO FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD ...

I was referred here from https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-13021 .
Yes, please make all such controls right there on the same page, one way or the other.

Well they are going to figure it out one way or the other

Just curious, of the several

how many of them take such a high security approach?

[Sarcasm on]
Alas, maximum security, else it surely will one day get hacked.
Even more secure would be to remove the branding altogether... generic bulletin board.

1. I cannot log in to your bug tracker. So, I will just mention that from PhpBB's installation screen, there is no way to tell what version one is installing.

If this is a bug, post it for me, I can't today as the bug site is down.

Also all email must be conducted thru your interface. It is almost as if you wanted
to snoop on their mails or make a buck on each message sent. You (phpbb latest version) don't
allow users to reveal their addresses except ...

Regarding the phpbb software, I'm glad to see you allow

"Allow users to send you private messages: No[X]"

But then you say "Note that administrators and moderators will always
be able to send you messages."

Well that is too bad, as the user has indicated via his preferences
that he wants nothing ...
