The page seems to have been updated since. Does this issue still apply?

Comment 2

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Now seems to redirect to

https://lre.laposte.fr/part-laposte/IdentificationParticulier.jsp?PartenaireRef=part-lapostefr

which has a login. I don't speak or read French, but that looks functional to me. I'm going to call this WORKSFORME absent any evidence to the contrary.
