It was not forgotten password, I have ALL of them written down with user name,
any 'secret' questions, due dates, etc. This one site ONLY wants to let you
access your information AFTER they've sent you a code to enter at their website.
Doesn't matter if your user name and password is correct, gotta get into their
site with an access code. It's great to be a secure site but then it can be
taken to ridiculous measures, too.
