536313 - Password recovery claims account does not exist while account creation claims it does (EWTF_NO_ACCOUNT)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 534459

(Mozilla Labs :: Identity, defect)

Description

[James Richardson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20091020 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.3
Build Identifier: 1.0b3

After installing Weave for this first time tonight on my Windows machine - setting up an account and so forth, I then setup Weave on my Linux Desktop.

Weave claims that my password is wrong, yet when I attempt to recover my password it then claims the password does not exist giving me this error message "Account name not on record, maybe it was deleted? EWTF_NO_ACCOUNT"

This is inconsistent with what the account creation widget says which itself is adamant that my account with that name does already exist.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup an account
2. Attempt to login
3. Attempt to recover password
Actual Results:  
Following popup error message "Account name not on record, maybe it was deleted? EWTF_NO_ACCOUNT"

Expected Results:  
A email with my password.

The activity log also has this in it which I think is relevant:
