I have now created my third Kodi forum account. I am running out of email addresses soon so will need new ones.
The reason?
Password recovery on this forum. It sends codes that the website responds to a "invalid".
Thank you

That is the first I ever heard of this. I know it can happen if you request multiple times in a row (only the last one is valid)

Does this also mean that you constantly forget your password? May I suggest a password manager like KeePass or LastPass in that case.

I made four attempts on recovery. Each time I received a different code to which the page responded "Invalid"

Password recovery is easier when the stored password disappears out of Firefox or when I happen to be on a different PC, as is the case today.

I'm guessing that you are copy pasting the code?

Thanks people. Just tried it on this new account and it is working.
It is not working on two of the other accounts I have here.

mind telling us your other accounts so that we either can delete them or merge your history?
As for the link not working - have you made sure that the link was correct? Sometimes email programs wrap long link URLs so that some characters are on a second line which are then not transferred to the browser when you click on it
