 * Greetings developers!
 * I have an error when try to login:
 * Login Failed!
    You entered an invalid username or password.
 * I saw in other topics that disabling installed caching plugin helps but I am 
   not using any caching plugins. Instead of this I am using WPEngine hosting which
   includes server caching by default which can’t be disabled. Also I don’t want
   to disable caching at all.
 * There are should be other way to solve this problem. Please help me!

 * If you are using any type of captcha on the backend login (wp-login.php), that
   will cause it to fail. You’ll either need to not use that or work around it.
 * Caching generally is not a problem with the login, although if it is improperly
   configured, it can cause an issue with registration which could result in a bad
   password. You can check/test any password through the backend login as well. 
   If it works there, you have a valid password and this is not the issue. But if
   it does not, then I would look into issues with either object cache settings 
   or db cache settings.
