v8.3.5 Problem Logging In

Post by SAK917 »

A few days ago I upgraded to client v8.3.5 on my primary FAH system and just now realized that since the upgrade I have not been logged in and have been folding anonymously. I tried to log in, but it is asking for an email address and passphrase. There are only three possible email addresses I may have used and none of the three work, returning the error dialog "Signing in failed: Login not found". I was able to log in as me on this forum to post this question, so I am pretty sure I still exist :wink:

Is there anything I need to do to reset or otherwise get my client logged back in so I can receive credit for my WUs?

Thanks

You need to first register (create) an account using the login dialog.

The account you create is completely separate from this forum or any other folding-related account you may have.

Login is optional.

Your user/team/passkey/cause should have been picked up from your old install.

Click the gear icon to configure your client.

It has been so long since I last setup the client that I had completely forgotten that information is part of the client configuration and when I saw the Login button on the Folding@Home Client web interface, I thought that is what I needed to do. Not sure why upgrading lost my user/team/passkey information but it is all good now.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
