Reset Password / Contact Administrator

Post by Cobalt272! »

I need to reset my password as I'm locked out on all devices except one. I tried reset password function, but no luck. I've also 'Contacted Administrator' but I don't get a response. Maybe the admin monitors here? In any case, much appreciate the help!

I sent a PM - please also let me know if your email address has changed (or is incorrect), since that's what is used to reset your password. Thanks,

OK, it looks like the root of these problems is Gmail/Google changing its security policies to not let apps like ours use a regular username and email to log in anymore. I've made some changes and it appears to be working now - my apologies to those who had trouble with registration or password resets in the past couple months.

Unfortunately, the problem didn't generate any errors, and it worked for a handful of people which just masked the actual problem and made it difficult to find and test.
