My site uses popups for login, registration etc. and they all work fine. Only when the session times out or when I directly navigate to /login.aspx, I get the message "Login Failed. Please remember that passwords are case sensitive." (with the same username / password of course). The admin log only states a login failure. Both, the login.aspx and the popup, use the same login link:

Login

This is on my local dev box only. I believe it is happening, because I upgraded a module to use Boostrap 5.

This does not sound like a BS upgrade thingy.
There is a really easy check: set the login page on Xcillion and remove the module that relies on BS5. That way you know for sure.
What I think is happening, is what happened to me a thousand times: your browser stored a login/password from another setup and fills the login control for you. If that's the case, you need to delete those logins from the browser history

Thank you Tycho. I triple checked the cached password - that's not it. Then I wanted to try a different theme - since I would have to install Xcillion first, I used Aphelia. Now I get "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS", I will post a separate question for that. Maybe you have another idea. I guess I could install the source code and debug into DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Authentication.DNN.Login to see what is going on, but maybe there is an easier way.

I am such a moron... I had forgotten the very basics of WebFORMS and introduced a element with Bootstrap 5 - which I copied from the Bootstrap examples. Debugging Login.ascx.cs showed that txtUsername.Text and txtPassword.Text were empty, which was the only symptom.
