Unable to log in or reset password

[Guest Doog]

Unable to log in for weeks now. I get this message when I try to reset my password: 

“Password Reset
Your password reset could not be completed due to a systems error, please contact the site admins.”

Username: Doog

Profile page:

I tried using different browsers and clearing my cache, etc. Nothing works. Please help!

The archive is in read-only mode because we have a very persistent hacker targeting the site with sql injection attacks. Until the site is protected against further sql injection attacks, it’s safest for our members if we leave it in read-only mode.

While the site is in read-only mode, there’s going to be functions that will remain disabled, and that includes password resets. Until we’re up and running properly again, you won’t be able to reset your password and log in. None of us, not even the moderating staff, can reset a password right now.

Patience is the word for now. Our coder and our admin are working as quickly as they can to resolve the situation.

[Guest Doog]

Thank you for responding. I’ll keep an eye out for when the site goes out of read-only mode.

I do believe I found the method.  Waiting on Manta to confirm.

When you said we can’t reset our passwords or log in, does that mean that logging in is impossible, or just that resetting or passwords and logging in is impossible, because even though I can’t log in on the desktop version, I was able to log in just fine on mobile.

[BronxWench]

You should be able to log in. As far as the desktop, you might need to clear your cache on your browser, though. Sometimes it needs that reset, so to speak.

hello there. What can i do for you hehes thanks

i registered 2 weeks ago but i cant find where can i search any words.

thanks for help :)

[BronxWench]

Archive registrations are not working at the moment, because the site is still in read-only mode.

The search function is working however. What are you trying to find?

[Guest kehkeh]

Are registrations working yet? I've been reading on this site for years, but I never created an account. Now since you can't look at anything without an account, and you can't create a new one, I'm pretty much locked out.

[WillowDarkling]

You can look at all of the Archives without an account. You just can’t review stories in most cases, without an account. But no, registration is not working, since the Archives are still in read only mode. Our Admin and Coder have both been ridiculously busy with their day jobs, so the time they’ve had to go through our code has been limited, unfortunately. But they are working on it.

We’re in the process of securing the site, and while I don’t have any hard information on when that will happen, or exactly what that will mean for unregistered readers, I do know our coder will be sending emails to all registered members asking them to verify their email address and reset their password. 

Keep an eye out for status updates from @manta2g as she works out the process. And as always, thank you for your continued patience while we sort this mess out.

I am now unable to log in at all. 

[WillowDarkling]

We are still in Read Only mode, so that might be why. But the Archive mods and the Tech side of the staff should be on tonight, and they can tell you for sure. 

[BronxWench]

I can’t say for sure, but our coder, @manta2g may have disabled logins as part of the clean-up project we’re doing. We’re at a point where we’re doing a massive clean-up of duplicate (and triplicate) accounts from before the last major code rewrite. There were over 5,000 accounts to be checked, and it needs to be done manually so we don’t lose any data from those duplicate accounts.

Once we’ve gotten that done, our amazing coder, @manta2g, can begin the process of emailing all members so they can verify their email addresses and reset their passwords as Phase One of the unlocking process.

[DemonGoddess]

I’ll have to double check, but I think logins have been disabled at this point in time.

[DemonGoddess]

Login is not locked.  Password reset still is, while we clean things up.  If you’re entering your password with any capitals, it won’t work, as the field is case sensitive.  None of the letters in your password are in upper case.

[Acheron]

Nope, still doesn't work
