Missing Login User Info and a Loop (Wp user ID1)

I upgraded to 2.4.3 and all was well for a couple days. No loops.
Tonight I noticed while I was logged in as admin with UID1 that my User Info in the w3all Login Widget was missing. So I logged out of my website and the Login widget now reappeared. I then attempted to login and I get the error that said Invalid credentials even though I know for a fact I used the correct login credentials. Once this happened, and I attempted to login via the phpBB login, I was stuck in a loop.
Now I cleared all cookies and cache and tried again as another user. Success! No loop. And user info in the login widget was present and accounted for as my images suggest. The user info int he login widget is ONLY missing for UID 1 and I ONLY get a loop for UID 1. Coincidence?
Both other users accounts that I have on the website do not loop nor is the user info missing in the login box. Please see attached images.

And here is another user that it works fine for with no loops.
When I get the invalid credentials error, I am forced to change my password no matter what. I can not login at all until password is changed.
I used all your updated files. I am not 100% certain my settings are correct. If it is working for you and everyone else and 2 other accounts of mine ..

Yes, the fact that the widget do not display for UID1 is normal: since info that display within this widget are grabbed by phpBB and the uid1 is not liked, then it is normal that this user (and only this) do not display info at all. In true should not even display the widget, so i will add this fix. It is anyway intended, that the uid1 wp installer admin, is particular account that can, but more often do not, exist, due to security reasons.
Let me check again about passwords ...

Ok So I am clear on this subject, it is ok for the widget to show post info for logged in users such as editor and author and subscriber but never admin? I Could easily shut off the widget but I figure most people are used to seeing a login block on main site more so now a days. But I think I am clear on what you say.
