A few things:
This page does say the username is case sensitive. Is it really? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Logging_in I do not see a reset password or request for temporary password on the login screen as it described on that help page: ---- What if I forget the password or username?
*Your username is case sensitive.* If you enter an email address when signing up for the account, or in your Preferences, you can make a request on the login screen for a temporary password to be sent to that address, which will allow you to retrieve your account. If you did not enter an email address, or the address was out of date, you will have to create a new account under a different username. ----
Instead I only see this when typing in my email address in the username box and leaving password box empty:

Capitalization of the first letter shouldn't make any difference, I rather suspect that password is mistyped. Although it wouldn't show this error message, no block or lock are placed upon your account: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thadguidry

Have you tried logging in with capital T in your username?

Hi team!
Something happened with my account? (it's not my end because I cleared cookies and tried to login with my saved password as well as tried to reset my password).
I continually get the message: Incorrect username or password entered. Please try again.

I was ideally hoping that I could be put on the exclusion list so that I didn't have to even use a VPN to connect from China where I moved to permanently as many of you know.
What should be the next steps to:
- unblock me for *wikidata.org http://wikidata.org* somehow if I am
blocked somewhere in the system? 2. add my account so that I can login to *wikidata.org http://wikidata.org *and *meta.wikipedia.org http://meta.wikipedia.org* without needing to go through a VPN?
