On Wednesday March 19th from 2PM - 2:15PM PDT (9PM - 9:15PM UTC), we will be performing system maintenance for about 15 minutes, probably less. During that brief maintenance window, the site will be in read-only mode, so users will not be able to login to their accounts or create/modify content.

By the way, it might be easier to view passwords here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords" button
