Heavy Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Anyone else having problems logging in? For the last while, every time I try to access my account I get an error message, saying my information is incorrect. Try a second time and my account gets locked. The only way I can get access to the site is to change my password ... more than a bit of a pain in the ass. Use the "Change Password" function and I'm in, which is interesting when my account is supposedly "Locked". Try and login later, even within hours of changing my password, and I get the error message again. It seems that the "Try again in 14 minutes" is bogus too because I initially tried waiting but would get the locked message even days later. I use either my phone or my computer to access the site so it's not like I'm in lots of different locations, using different machines. Initially, I was worried that my account had been hacked after all the bot posts we were getting but it's been going on for a while now. I tried reaching out to admin, though the "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page, and haven't heard back. Changing my password every time I want to access the site is getting old very fast. I know I bought a Honda but I still have my Tracer. Really not feeling the love! 🤬🤬 There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time.

Oh, and same thing happened this morning. I've changed my password so many times I may well be using the wrong one now. 😄 Edited December 29, 2023 by Heavy There is never enough time or money to do it right the first time.

miweber929 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Is that Firefox you’re using as a browser? I use Safari and Chrome, on a Mac, PC and iPad and have not had any issues. Weird…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct; this is what I discovered recently as well. Use your email to log in instead of your username and it works fine. My apologies; I didn't think to share this with the masses. Guess I'm so used to barely-lashed-together stuff breaking on t'intarwebz that this sort of minor thing barely registers. Much of what I do for a living is website development, and honestly most people would never sleep at night if they knew more about the sort of spit, duct tape, and string holding the online world together. Maybe the owners will fix this at some point, maybe they won't. 2 Red 2015 FJ-09, among other things.

Tim16 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi, all. Thanks @jthayer09 @bwringer. That worked. Hope it’s the same for others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I’ve flagged this to the site owner, in case there is a fix that can be applied. New registrations had to be paused while we were being spam bombed so perhaps logons got caught up in that. 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

metallion Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I noticed the login problem this past Friday afternoon. Changed password and could login on my phone but not on laptop for some reason. Thank you jthayer09 and bwringer for the temporary fix to login with email instead. Now i'm in !

Cruizin Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Turns out security settings changed last software update. Must login with email address instead of username. This stops AI programs from trying each one of the displayed usernames for easy passwords to breach. 5 Yamaha FZ-10 Forum Yamaha FZ-07 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
