Password reset

[Bluepaint]

If you are having a problem resetting your password at any point please email languagelearnersforum@gmail.com from the email address you used to register on the forum. State your username and I'll fix it as soon as I can.

This will be a forum-wide post for a couple of days, afterwards I'll make it a sticky in the Technical Support area. Although, those of you with good memories will know the email address is available in the Contact Methods & Forum Emergencies thread in the Forum Rules & FAQ section.

Hey is there another way to get a password reset? I’ve tried reaching out every way I can think of and can’t seem to get ahold of anyone. Would love to be Ani again

I don't have access to the email I used to register my account with. I still can post with my account here because it stays logged in on my phone, but I can't log on anywhere else because I don't remember my password. Also, since I don't know my password, I can't change it on my account settings while I'm logged in on my phone.

Any suggestions?

Send me a PM and tell me the email address you registered with. I'll reset your password.

Hallelujah! I was finally able to log in!

I've been trying for literally months at this point, with both my original account (Jinx) and this secondary one (Jinx2), and every single time I tried, I would get the "maximum number of login attempts exceeded" message. Looks like there has been a bit of overkill on the security side. Blocking spammers is good, but when legitimate long-time forum members can't log in for months on end, that seems like a problem.

Also, the support email (languagelearnersforum at gmail) doesn't seem to be monitored at present? I emailed in January asking for a password reset, never heard back, finally emailed again in April and haven't received a response to that email either.

After reading other people's posts, I'm worried that as soon as I start clicking around the forum I'll be booted and won't be able to log in again. Is there any potential solution to this problem in the pipeline?

We're hoping to have something sorted out soon. Need to upgrade all the forum software.

Fantastic news, thanks for the update. I was auto-logged-out once again while attempting to reply to this post, so I am eagerly looking forward to this upgrade

(And thank you again for helping me regain access to this account!)

We all get locked out and have to answer riddles, and it is actually a good sign that we still have frequent users here who are willing to put up with the troubles. Hopefully there will be a solutions in due time.

I have noticed that the risk I get get locked out is higher when I write something (or just have written something) so I now first read a lot, and only then decide where to answer. Besides I write my contributions in Word and copy them as compelte as possible into the edit box. And when I have to log in and see the standard two fields then I just tap x and x because I know that I have to get through a second round with three fields. That saves time. It also saves time that I now know the answers to all the gotcha questions by heart.

I preview my posts a lot as I write them. It forces the website to renew your cache and you don't get logged out so much.

... then I just tap x and x because I know that I have to get through a second round with three fields.

I type smallwhite then copy-n-paste and I thought I was efficient. Next time I’m going to try submitting without inputting anything just to beat you.
