[Developers] Logging into freebase using API and long username/password

[Alec Flett]

One possibility: did you change your password on sandbox-freebase.com,  
and not on freebase.com proper? At the moment, these two systems  
actually have separate authentication... (though I think sandbox- 
freebase.com has been refreshed from freebase.com in the last few hours)
