Nick Posted May 27, 2022 Share We did it for two reasons: For us, it simplifies any development around user accounts going forward. For users, there is one less variable in the login / reset process when they have issues with their account. It's a significant load on our support and streamlining is welcomed.

Nick Posted May 27, 2022 Share A few things that might ease the experience: Save your email address to your keyboard's predictive text (I assume you're talking about mobile here?) If you regularly use the same browser, don't destroy your Bike Hub cookies. You'll only need to log in once a year. A password manager can autofill the fields for you (your browser probably offers something similar).

I think the last time I needed to type in my login details was when the forum went through an upgrade.... And even if it is needed, LastPass is my go-to as I have different passwords for every single site I log into. (The leak at TransUnion should really have woken people up to the realities of the internet if they still have shared login details for various sites) Nick, MTBRIDER1234 and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
