I can't get a passkey from you guys... Hotmail and Gmail

Post by JohnnyB »

Hi there!

Apparently I've been living under a rock, cause just yesterday I've heard about F@H, and instantly joined. :D

I'm trying since yesterday to get a passkey to Hotmail and Gmail with no luck, yet the registration mail for this forum was instant...
Am I doing something wrong :?: :!:

Thanks in advance!

Since you're not the first having issues with passkey retrieval, I'm escalating the issue to the developer.

You may eventually get it with a lot of delay ... let us know if it happens.

At the moment I'm waiting 22 hours on Hotmail and around 10 on Gmail...
Will let you know when I'll receive one or the other

UPDATE: after 20 hours more waiting, still nothing... Gonna try to ask for the key again
UPDATE2: 22-ish hours on top of everything, and still didn't receive anything... I'm starting to think I'll never get the passkey... Any ideas?
UPDATE3: Just got it on both mails
FINAL UPDATE: After entering the passkey my stats got reset to 0...

Thanks!

I've been getting mine sent to me repeatedly for the last few hours, about 2 hours between each time and I only requested once

Hi, I have the same issue! I thought that something went wrong so I tried to re-do the process but it replied that an email was already sent within the previous 4 hours. Yet, no e-mail has arrived (not in spam or other inbox folder). My e-mail is on Gmail.

I just wanted to add that I am having the same issue, so it's not an isolated case.

Similar situation tried requesting last night nothing has arrived. Tried again just now still waiting. I know the PassKey site says wait 4 hours between requests so will keep waiting.

Is it possible to add a PassKey to the clients later? I get that would mean not getting credit for WU's for now, but if I can get credit for work I do later on I think it is more important to unleash my GPU's sooner than later.

I've tried repeatedly to get a passkey for the last day or so. First attempt used an old AOL account I usually use for this sort of thing. When it didn't go through, I figured it was AOL being its terrible self and blocked it as spam. I then tried Gmail, as I've usually had more luck with it. When THAT didn't go through, I checked around and found the Tweet about how Google and Yahoo were blocking them as possible spam. My last attempt was using a personal domain I have that uses a CPanel/WHM mail server that has reliably let through even the most obvious and blatant spam, and it still hasn't gone through after a few hours. I'll be keeping an eye on all the emails, but there seems to be something going on with all of this.

I, on the other side, receive the same passkeys every day multiple times. I'd like to stop receiving them....

Yes you can add the passkey later. You will still get credit but not the bonus points until you complete 10 WU with the passkey.
Folding since 1 WU=1 point

I'm still getting my passkey emailed to me every 30-200 minutes despite only requesting it once. Probably not helping the delays.
