Hi, can someone help answer this user? Thank you.

It's unclear what the question is... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Steue implies they have a global account, so on mediawiki.org it will be the same username and password. User:Steue does exist (the account, not as a page). In case that a password policy was an issue, then folks are welcome to update their password.

Reading from the description. It sounds like the user never tried to login with their username and password. They tried to create an account, but their account already exists. They should try and login via Special:Userlogin.

Due to increased privacy controls in web browsers, automatic login doesn't work between sites as much anymore. You have to login separately, but its the same username and password.

Thanks for your answer. The "Log in" problem is solved: I could not see the button [More options] due to my own colours. More details on my talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Steue#What_happened_to_my_reply_re._mediawiki?
