Log In User worked and then it didn't!

[crunch42]

Very strange. I have the Log In User behavior on a live site and it worked
fine for a month. Then two days ago it just completely stopped working and now
won't allow anyone to log in. The exact same code and database continues to
function correctly on my local development machine. The only thing that
happened a couple days ago is that someone set themselves up to be an
administrator of the live site using Contribute 2. Can this possibly have
anything to do with it? Or could the hosting service have changed some
settings that would make this happen? The database can be queried correctly
on the hosting server. And yes, of course I've verified that the usernames and
passwords I'm trying are correct. If it matters it's a PHP/MySQL setup on a
virtual server. Any ideas?

If you are using the standard login behaviour it uses Session variables. I
would check that sessions have not been turned off on the server,

No, that's not it. The host confirmed that sessions are not disabled and I verified it by passing a session variable.
