7/2/2018 update (either the link or this method may die at any point):
Here's the steps for those booked Asiana flight using UA (or other) miles.
For all award trips, "Find my trip" doesn't work.
Select "Check-in" and fill the information. But not through the check-in button at the bottom of the first page. Go through "BOOK" at the top bar and then click "check-in". https://flyasiana.com/I/US/EN/CheckIn.do#none
You must have the ASIANA record locator number, which is available on the United site for your reservation.
It won't allow check-in because your travel date is too far away. But it lets us to select seats !!
Remember: between 72 and 48 hours before each flight, all good seats (front Y) are open.

stopped working for me as of today? I tried logging on again today, as usual, and it says I entered the wrong information, even though it is 100% correct.
I did recently erase my cache and history, maybe that has something to do with it?

THANKS !!! I actually got this to work!!!! On a UA issued award ticket 
no less.
Caveats. It only worked with my name in the following format....
If my name was Mabuk Dan Gila
(not my real name), for family name / given name, I had to put GILA/MABUKDMR . Your name, middle name (or initial or lack thereof) and honorific appended to the end, may vary. In my case it ONLY worked with the middle initial and MR appended to the end of my first name.
The only "reservation number" that worked was the Amadeus booking reference. AKA the Asiana "6 character alphanumeric" booking reference. I also have the valid "Asiana 7 or 8 digit numerical" booking reference for this reservation but alas mine if of the 7 digit variety and this form requests the 8 digit variety so it didn't work with my 7 digit Asiana numerical booking reference.
The e-ticket is on United 016 ticket stock and the "Flight Ticket Number Inquiry" option did not work at all with any combination.
But it DID work on a UA Award ticket!!! With the Amadeus booking reference and my middle initial and MR appended to my First name.

About 3 nights ago, I tried logging in again, and now I get an error message stating it is the wrong information, even though it is the same information I've been using successfully for weeks!
What happened? Any suggestion on how I can log back in like I used to?

@ previous 2 OPs: Surprised this happened as I was able to select F seats this morning for a trip for next year Sep. Maybe it was a temporary glitch? Thanks to all for providing the info for the seat selection which Asiana was very adamant over the phone can't be done.

This is causing me anxiety because I was counting on logging in a few days before my flight to change my seat.
Just to reiterate: did you say you entered your last name, first name with "MR" at the end (with no spaces), then your 6 digit alphanumeric code to log in?

Yes I entered last name, first name, "MR" attached to first name. For a different itinerary I also selected a seat for I had to put in the first-name/second-name-initial/MR before it worked but both of them had no problem. Try IE for best possibilities?
I could no longer log into Asiana seat selector after I deleted all my history and cache. Maybe this has something to do with it?

This is really bugging me not only because I won't be able to change my seat 72 hours before my flight, but also because I won't be able to check into my flight at all.

I was just able to again view my seats online. In my case, my "first name" was in the form of [first name]+[middle initial]+["Mr"], with no spaces.

This is very troubling, not to mention frustrating. Asiana should get their act together and fix their glitchy website. There is simply no excuse for this.

wow
I was able to log on through here:
http://eu.flyasiana.com/I/en/Default...Type=LINK#none
LASTNAME / FIRSTNAMEMI
I got a pop-up in Chrome, FireFox, and IE but wasn't able to actually select the itinerary once I got there. In the IE window I at one point got a "hand" where I could "finger" a flight and got a pop-up box in Korean with a message of some sort.
So I called Asiana. Agent first said, "It's a United codeshare." So I said, I have the Asiana PNR so I can get a seat assigned.
She then said, "Use the website to get the assignment." I explained to her the above. She said "Did you select the English version?" Then we went through the site together until I told her what page I was on. She then said, "That page is working."
I then said, "But it's not for me, and all I want is a window seat. Can you please help me with that?" She finally did.
What. The. Hell.
Between the non-functioning site, and the head-exploding interaction with the reservations agent, I will add Asiana to my "avoid list." I would expect this from Air Tajikistan, not this carrier.
