Title: Anyone having issues logging into the Road?
Post by: ErgoProxy on April 03, 2013, 03:33 am
I'm pissed.


I have tried for the last 45 minutes to log in, and no, I am not punching in the wrong passphrase. Nor have I changed it. I was able to a few hours ago. I go in to transfer what I have in my account, off-site. Did a bit of reading around on the net, and seems there has been a lot of complaints regarding such issues. I hope someone is not going to suggest I re-type my password. Same password since I have been a member, the whole 8 months or so.


This sucks.

I was locked out of my account for about 24+ hours last week - same thing except it kept giving me "Login failed" even though I had been logged in just fine a few hours prior!

So, I won't tell you to retype your password or anything like that.

Someone else on the forums is having the same issue, so I'm guessing it isn't just you.  I'll send DPR a message and let him know this is happening.

Did you try using a new identity (in Vidalia) a few times?

Also, 8 months..... I would think it's about time to change, but that's just me. ;)

Phew. Thanks for that, Scout.

Oh, and hello! Good to see you. :)


Just got a little worried is all. I'm sure its fine.

Also, I'm not much worried about my passphrase. I do not do *anything* anymore, anyway. Its a fairly complex passphrase, and I take extra, extra precautionary measures just logging in. But if someone figures out my info, they deserve to have it. And yes, I tried all the usual stuff.

Yeah, likewise - and I use a Live CD on a computer only for SR ... so it can't be phishing or malware.

The usual instruction is to create a new marketplace account and send SR Support a message from the new account about getting your password reset.

Huh, never though of it that way.  :P  I'd say the same applies to me.... ;)

yep :)

I also use a prepaid netstick , and do as Scout does. I have already learned my lesson, from not being cautious enough.

Thank you, Scout. I did try that. With a new user name and all. Attempted sending of a message, it timed out. Had to log out, restarted Tor. Tried to log in, was told wrong password.

I will try again in a day or two. Have a lot of work I must get done anyway. Hope all is going well for you. Nice to see you're OK. (:

Rest well, all.

Edit: Great success, was able to log in. Same details. Odd.

Yeah, I was coming to update the thread and suggest that if you're having trouble logging in, you may just need to restart tor.
