 1. Click "Sign in" on the homepage and it takes you to
 https://www.osgeo.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.osgeo.org
 %2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
 2. Click "Lost your password?" and it takes you to https://www.osgeo.org
 /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
 3. Enter your username and click "Get New Password", and it says

   Error: Unable to reset password
   To change your OSGeo password, go to: https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/edit

   If you forgot your password, go to https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/reset

 4. If you read that carefully, you will click on the second link.  But
 there is a good chance that you won't read it carefully enough and will
 just think everything is broken.

 Either:
 * the original "Lost your password" link should be changed to point to
 https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/reset, or
 * https://www.osgeo.org/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword should actually
 work!
