How to link F@H account PC

Post by Clive »

Hi

F@H is showing that the computer that I am using for F@H is "unlinked" to my account. How do I fix this?

V8.4.9?
Click on the cog, and there is a chain icon on the right hand side, click on that, it should link it.
It should have popped linking message first time you started the client, though

You need to login to your account, which you registered/created via web control.

Hi:
Thank you for assisting me in successfully getting my first PC linked to my account. I have tried to link my laptop to my F@H account, but I am getting an invalid password error.

Is there a fix for this?

Note that your passkey is not a password.
