Thanks everyone. Sorry to say it turned out to be me having a senior
moment: it seems I was already registered with the site.
Some bad design (or execution) though. There could have been a message
to tell me I was already registered. Clicking on "Show Password" didn't
show password being entered on neither Chrome nor Edge. When I tried
"Reset Password" to see if I was registered the message was "we'll send
you an e-mail if your address is on the system" so if I hadn't received
an e-mail I wouldn't have known if it was because I wasn't registered or
because the e-mail just hadn't arrived.
Interestingly the Capcha behaved quite differently on Chrome and on
Edge. On Chrome the symbol just twirled a bit and then ticked. On Edge
it required me to select some pictures.
