Topic 217721

Hello - I'm hoping someone on this board can help me, as I'm not sure where else to go to.  

In responding to the GDPR posting, I tried logging into my account.  I've lost my login and password.  I used the authenticator-based login because my account is tied to a defunct e-mail.  Using the authenticator-based login, I tried changing my e-mail and password, but in order to do so, I have to supply my old password.  I would normally ask for a new password, but the new password will go to my defunct e-mail which I can no longer access.  Does anyone have an idea of how I can reset my credentials?  Should I just delete my account and set up a new one?  

Thanks for the help.

Hello there, I stumbled upon

Hello there,

I stumbled upon the same problem.

After a long time I wanted to login to my account, but I don't have access to my current password anymore.

Using either one-time login or authenticator-based login, it's always necessary to give your old password when trying to change the mail address or trying to set a new password.

Could an admin please help me out, too?

Thank you!

I was having problems so I removed the BOINC software and then re-installed it.  The website shows me as logged in but I can't get a project loaded.  I was working on Einstein@Home.  Need a little help.

 

Thanks

I had the same problem, but

I had the same problem, but no matter what browser I used (Maxthon/Edge/Chrome) the page accepting the email address would not display the fields allowing me to enter data.

 

The Authenticator page also had the same problem.

 

I am not sure whether Flash has anything to do with it, but GFlash is not longer supported by Microsoft or other Browsers.
