Signing in with a Display Name

** THIS IS NOW IN EFFECT **

Hey guys,

We'll be updating the forums soon, and one of the security updates removes the ability to log in with your Display Name.  After the update, you must sign in with your email address.  Your password the same for both signing in with username and signing in with e-mail

 

I highly advise you start using your email to login now!  Many of you don't even recall what email address you used to sign up, and you'll be screwed when the change takes effect.  So check it now, and start using it when you log in.

 

What you MUST do immediately

Check your account settings in your profile (click your name in the upper left, then "account settings") and see what email you have listed.  Update it if necessary.

I can’t remember the last time I had to log back in. 

Same here - but I made sure my saved logon info is with the E-Mail address....it had been set to my user-name.

I never log off 😉

 

Guess I need to check that 

Changed my "Saved" login to email. 👍

I’m glad I found this thread!  I am in the process of setting up an Apple iPad Pro.  I simply could NOT get the dang thing to log into the forum even after repeated attempts.  My Chromebook would log in with no issues as usual.  
 

Once I updated my login credentials on the iPad to use my email address vs my user name, PRESTO!  Both devices log in as expected.  The Chromebook has been changed as well. 

Done.

Maybe move this to the general fishing forum. My reasoning is more members view that forum than this one.

The email I signed up with is defunct, me over here trying to remember the answer to a 10 year old security question to change it....

Doesn't help now, but thanks anyway. The email I used was one provided by my university which was guaranteed in perpetuity as part of my tuition. They just yanked that out from under us alumni with almost no warning, so I cannot change the email without the security question. I'll figure it out eventually.

@@Glenn  My email is correct but I don't know what my password is.  How do I change PW if I don't know what current one is?  Thank you for your understanding!

 

I went to FAQ.  It said to go to name in upper right. My name is upper left.  So there is the first confusion/frustration!

Anyway, I went to Profile, then Edit Profile....and it still requires I know my password, but I don't, so how do I change it?

This stuff is easy for most of you but it is frustrating for me.

Log out, then when you go to log in again, click the "forgot password" link.  Enter your email, and you'll be sent a link to reset your password.

 

Hope that helps!

Okay guys, this is going into effect in a few days.  You will only be able to use your email to login at that point, not your profile name. Your password the same for both signing in with username and signing in with e-mail.

 

What you MUST do immediately

Check your account settings in your profile (click your name in the upper left, then "account settings") and see what email you have listed.  Update it if necessary.  

 

If you don't do this and don't know what email your profile uses, you will be locked out!

Done … I think . The correct email is the one in my account settings, right ?

Thanks for the notification- I hadn’t seen it until just now…😅
