I Tunes password

Isn't the iTunes password the one to use for logging in to this Community? I entered it and it didn't work. Eventually I got locked out. First, a dialog box appeared with text I can't remember asking if I want to log in under something beginning with "i...." and my yahoo email address. The password field was glitchy; I couldn't type in it. Finally, I cancelled the dialog box and a white log-in page appeared into which I entered my email address and password. Then I got locked out. During this process I had the Nord VPN connected. At some point, I disconnected it thinking it was part of the problem.

After some rigamarole involving my iPad, I got my account unlocked. I don't want to have to go through this everytime I try to log in to the Community.
