It would be better if the login flow said something like

For security reasons, we ask you to set a new password, please use the "password forgotten" function to gain access again.

instead of me being puzzled why my password doesn't work.

except now anyone guessing your password knows when they guess your password right? while that site is safe most users use the same password and any site they use with the same email is now vulnerable.

Yes... but your credentials are already for sale in the darknet
