[Martin Pool <mbp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't log in to Launchpad's web ui because of the (maybe 2fa
related?) bug mentioned below; I also can't report bugs by mail,
perhaps because lp doesn't like Google's nbsp in leading whitespace.
(There might be a bug for that already.)

An error occurred while processing a mail you sent to Launchpad's email
interface.


Error message:

You didn't specify the project, distribution, or package that the bug is
about.

To do this, include a line that starts with a blank space, then the word
'affects', then the Launchpad ID of the project or distribution, then
(if it's a package) a slash and the name of the package.

For example, reporting a bug on an upstream project:

 affects bzr

Reporting a bug on a distribution:

 affects ubuntu

Reporting a bug on a distribution source package:

 affects ubuntu/firefox

Subject: "lost something" error during login
  affects launchpad
   status confirmed
   importance critical

When I go to log in to Launchpad, I'm prompted to enter my username
and password, which I do, and then at
<https://login.launchpad.net/nwGVW8BdPbvggSfd/two_factor_auth> I get a
page saying

Lost something?

There's no page with this address in the Launchpad Login Service.
Check that you entered the address correctly and try again.

(Error ID: 2335canistellaunchpad847)

However, the top right of the page does show my user name, as if I am
already logged in, and at <https://login.launchpad.net/+edit> I can
see my account details.  But <https://launchpad.net/> thinks I'm not
logged in.  Clicking log in on that page redirects me to a similar
"not found" url.  Retrying doesn't help.

I recently cleared my browser's cookies, and also left employment with
Canonical.  I don't know if either of them is related.

This apparently blocks me from doing anything with the lp web ui so
it's quite high impact.
