Login problems

I emptied the list of external authentication providers (who needs an external provider when I only access this forum directly, was my idea). Now I can't login to my help-account in a normal fashion (I currently use the temporary login key). How do I fix this?

Is seems that for the openstreetmap.org credentials to work for login on help.openstreetmap.org, the password has to fulfill certain properties. I've filed a separate question to ask what those are.

My data points so far:

A password generaged with pwgen -s 12 (i.e. 12 random alphanumeric characters) does work
an XKCD-style password (generated by xkcdpass IIRC) made up from 5 randomly chosen English words separated by spaces worked for OSM at large, but not for help.openstreetmap.org
