Has anyone seen this behaviour with skype on Linux?

I just changed my password and tried to log in, Skype rejected the new password even though they sent me an email confirming the reset.

I reset it again same result. I reset it for a third time same result On the fourth reset it worked fine.

The only thing I can think is that the first 3 passwords all had a y or a z in them and I have my location with Skype set to the UK while my keyboard is Swiss German which has the y and z changed over.

Is it even possible for a system to get confused like that? Or is this perhaps just normal Microsoft / Skype behaviour?

Not sure about " Microsoft / Skype behavior" but after similar problems with lock-outs and reset problems; on Paypal (whether due to my  ancient browser, my  ancient OS or some kind of reset-delay glitch at Paypal); I transferred my money out of the account and closed it! I am now looking at alternatives to Paypal; eg Transferwise  see https://transferwise.com/au regards Rohan McLeod
