Thanks to the disastrous technological failures of the Obamacare healthcare.gov website, the website has now been forced to reset the passwords for all users.  According to ArsTechnica.com, “According to registrants speaking with Ars, individuals whose logins never made it to the site’s database will have to re-register using a different username, as their previously chosen names are now stuck in authentication limbo.” 

Failures of the Obamacare website have meant that thousands of potential applicants have been unable to register.  ArsTechnica reports that federal contractors are “scrambling to deploy more fixes,” and says that technical support centers are buckling under the weight of calls looking for help.  Ars adds that “changes made to profiles already within the system may not be saved either.”
