Folding Forum

I remember setting all of this up when I got my new computer a few months ago. Still getting an error when trying to receive password. EDIT I just re-registered. I already had an old FAH account, seems to be behaving itself now. Next mystery....joining a team! Gonna go read up on that. Thank you so ...

OK, now I see that web control is working fine...but still can't log in...very odd.

Thanks, will look into this tomorrow.

I try to log in to web control. I put in my PW, no good. I try to use "reset password" and I get login not found. What to do? Thanks so much. EDIT: Also seems that my computer is somehow "unlinked?" This is my current web view: https://imgur.com/a/JoozpTT https://i.imgur.com/hFCh...

Thanks, yes, found that when I set up on the new rig. Very much appreciated!

Thanks so much! Now I see how I can see which job is running on what. Very much appreciated!

So I seem to have two work units running at once. Can't delete one. Is this normal behavior? Yes, I read the FAQ but I'm still a bit rusty. Screenshot below. Thanks so much!!

Correct. For now web control accounts are only for remote monitoring and control. And for synchronization of user, team, passkey, cause among your linked machines. Only one account is allowed to contain your passkey. If you make a new account, it “owns” the passkey. I don’t know what exactly happen...

Thanks. Will I lose my credits/other stuff under my account if I do that?

Note passkey is not a password or passphrase.
There is no v8 screensaver.

Thanks RE screensaver.

But why can't I recover my passPHRASE?

Still not sure what's going on with that.

Brand new machine after my Win10 box bit the dust. Two issues: --I got my passphrase and am able to see my stats etc from the web controller BUT... --When I try to login here: https://v8-4.foldingathome.org/projects and click "forgot passphrase" I get this: https://imgur.com/a/Qk1LlCI http...

Before I started using FAH I used Electric Sheep as a screensaver. Now, when the FAH SS fires up, it's split across my 2 screens. Where is the doohickey so that I can change the blinkenlight to make it clone on each of my 2 screens instead? I'm sure I am missing something very obvious. Windows 10, 2...

Thanks, just reinstalled and all my info was still there, but good to have a plan B. VERY much appreciated, thank you!

Thanks! What if I requested a key, where would that live/how can I retrieve it?

OK, after a long hiatus I reinstalled FAH. Thought I was being cute n clever making it a "manual start" thinking that it would be an easy toggle. Nope. Am I missing something obvious? How can I change my current install to start at boot? Again, Windows 10, don't want to do any weird Bios s...
