American Express weird login

 

So I typed my password incorrectly, like I sometimes do. Usually I just re-enter it, and Amex lets me log in. But when I re-entered correctly, this form came up. And it won't let me log in until I complete the form. Even from another computer. I've never been asked the entire credit card number, to reset a password. It just seems weird. Anyone else get this?

Re: American Express weird login

Can't say I have. I memorize all my passwords, and I don't usually type it in wrong, though when I do, I just retype it and everything's fine. Perhaps it's a new security feature?

Try using a different browser. If the issue persists and the form displays again then just input the required information.

Like Omar mentioned above, I've not seen this display on my end, even when my authentication fails on the first try.

Yeah it's not like I hit the "reset password" or "forgot password" link.  
So I called and asked about it, the CSR gave me a temporary password and said the old one was "revoked." Wow one typo and I have to get a new password. Seems like a new measure.

Interesting. Not sure how this would apply to everyone though. I just tested an incorrect password instance and it did not prompt me with the form OP. Plus, I don't save cache on my PC either. Needless to say, this would apply to revoked passwords for sure.

Yeah I'm not sure how it applies to me either. I didn't do anything differently from usual. That's why I wondered if it was a new 2016 security measure.. but from the feedback so far, doesn't seem like it.

Great data point either way OP since I'm sure there's bound to be someone who'll encounter a similar situation.

Not autofill but I do use LastPass, which IMO is wonderful. I don't have to remember any passwords for any of my websites. Beats having the same 1 or 2 weak  passwords for everything.
