Scenario:

Person A is Joe on EN
Person B is Joe on FR

Person A has ID 123
Person B has ID 456

Person A goes to EN, logs in as Joe, and gets ID 123, then goes to
FR, and everythig is great.

While in FR, session times out. Person A, now in FR, tries to login
again, as Joe. Oops, not possible, user Joe has a different password
(because Joe on FR is really person B)

So you would have to go to the wiki that you originally registered
your username with in order to log in.
