I had a problem logging in a little while ago and @BronxWench was nice about helping me reset. However I tried to log in today into the main archive and it’s not working again. Might be an issue with the IP address changes. Are you using a VPN? Deadman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the obvious security risks of public access wifi, it’s entirely possible the IP changed from what we have in our database. I’ll email you fresh links. Revalidate, and then you should be able to reset your password, but keep in mind, if you are trying to use an old password when resetting, you are blanking the field and triggering another password reset. You shouldn’t need to reset your password every time you can’t log in. What you can do is clear your browser cache and history, click the three bars in the archive homepage and see if you are logged in or not. If you are, you’ll see your pen name. Log out, and then log in again, and it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re using public WIFI, I’d recommend also using one of those VPNs (plenty advertised on youtube videos).

Totally understand… my cable installation bill was pretty high and was on library wifi for quite some time until I bit the bullet to pony up.

It’s the same thing that people have often said about social media platforms. If you’re not the customer paying for the product, you’re the product. Free VPNs are probably selling your data that they claim they’re keeping safe from being tracked. BronxWench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Okay, looks like I’m having the problem again. It was fixed on Monday after having it updated by an admin, but today I tried to login and the problem returned. I think it’s because I’m using public wifi.

BronxWench Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) It shouldn’t be related to that. Your IP here on the forum matches what I have in the archive. Did you clear your browser cache and history? It could be “remembering” your old password (the one with the illegal characters) which would be why you can’t log in. In any event, I’ve emailed you fresh links. Let’s reactivate and create another password...

However, I had this happen previously and the problem returned so I will try it again in a few days, probably early next week. As to the issue around browser cache and history, I have my default to delete cache and history when I close it. So I don’t think that’s the issue.

I appreciate that and it sounds like a workable solution in the short term, but I do hope there’s a long term solution that can emerge. It would be unfair of me to be constantly asking for this type of thing. Also, I might run out of passwords to change to if I have to constantly change it each time.

In my case, I’m using a password manager (KeePass) to help keep track of mine. (Also, remember that the archive is a different database from the Forums here, so passwords don’t have to be the same.)

Guest Guest The_Excluded_One Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 My link doesn’t have the word password but still doesn’t work, when I open it it says it’s invalid, I can’t access to my account anymore, any tips? Because originally my password isn’t 12 characters long. I can’t find my ID profile but I have the activation one: https://members.adult-fanfiction.org/activate.php?x=1297010654&y=635d3237eb3d2b961f2d5bd2cf272ea0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
