Passkey too short

[sophieblue]

I received my passkey. It is 30 digits long. When I enter it into the Passkey box in the Change Identity popup, it says the passkey must be 32 digits long.

That's strange. I've never seen a passkey that had blanks in it. Send me the folding name and email by PM and I'll discuss it with the developer.

The one you sent me was 32 digits long.

I can't connect to the Local Folding@home web client. Task Manager has client.exe and 2 instances of corewrapper.exe showing as running. I've cleared history and cache and tried directly connecting.

What do you see when you click http://client.foldingathome.org/ ?
Can you access Advanced Control? Here:

One thing you could clarify, does it say "Passkey too short" or "Password too short"? They are not the same thing for the client.

There was a bug in the latest client install, it acts as if a password was set for connecting to FAHClient by Web Control or FAHControl. This is a default for remote FAHControl connections when it is used on a system to manage clients on other systems. But it is normally not used for local connections.

If it is looking for a Password and not a Passkey, about the only fix I know is a complete uninstall including data and the reinstall. Make a copy of your passkey first from the config.xml file. You may also want to copy usernam and team settings.
