I know I have used the same one because I write down all my passwords and this is one I use 99% of the time for the last 15 years. I have to have it reset every time and I always make it be the same one it always has been! Why do I have to keep going through this?

Clearing you browser cache either deliberately or if it's software scheduled may wipe cookies and passwords. You can configure cache clearing to avoid it.
It may also be down to some website software periodically requiring passwords to be changed by users who haven't changed theirs recently; some won't allow you to use the same password as before but seemingly not this website.
Now you've logged in it would be a perfect time to create a new and more secure password, record it remotely and accept any pop-up offer to save/update it in your browser's passwords.
Then check your browser's settings to make sure they are what YOU want rather than just the default values.
And, of course, become a regular visitor!
