Why couldn't I log in from work, too?

I changed my password, with your help. Now I need to be able to sign on from work. It is a different computer, a different IP address. Can I not sign in from there?

For now, at least in my case, the best solution to this is to not change your password and instead use the one DU generated for you at your initial login after the hack.

I'm able to log into DU from anywhere on any device using their generated password. Not so when I changed the password.
