Forgot my password!

Greetings. This is the thread for requesting assistance with recovering a TV Tropes account for which you have forgotten the password.

Before posting here, please note that Get Known has a comprehensive set of instructions for managing your account. To summarize, password resets are limited as follows:

  • If you have an associated email address, use the Lost Password link on the login screen to request a reset email. If that doesn't work, post here.
  • If you do not have an associated email address but you are still logged in, you can register an email address and use it for recovering your password.
  • If you do not have an associated email address, and have not used your previous account since September 18, 2013, we cannot verify your ownership for technical reasons.
  • To verify ownership without an email address, and if you have used your previous account recently, you should be logged in on the same computer and/or Internet connection that you most recently edited or posted from.
  • It is not currently possible for moderators to reset your password or change your registered email address. As a last resort, you may use our contact form to send a message to "The Staff".

Thanks for your understanding.

Password is what gets reset.

To nothing. You need to create a new account (with a new password) under the reset handle.

Account resetting is temporarily on hold. Will let you know when something changes.

It gets reset to 'password', but the screen asks you to make a new password right away.

So, is the password reset back up now? The error message for unknown accounts on the e-mail set-up page made it seem that way.

I made an account called Ultimate Ridley a couple of years ago before entering email was required for registration. May I get my password for that account reset?

[up] I don't see any text in your post. What does that mean?

Due to ongoing security issues, we currently have no way to verify account ownership if no email address was associated, so if you forget your password and can't reset it via the reset form, you're out of luck.

So, basically, I'm stuck using this account now, or will the option to reset older accounts eventually come back?

How do I add an email to my older account to prevent me from forgetting my password again.

Would like to get the account under the name Valiance reset if someone could do so.

I tried changing the password to my main account (Troper Roxas) but all it seems to have done is lock me out of it. Is this because I didn't verify an email beforehand or something?

My account was Cool Kitten. Somehow I got logged out and I forgot my password.

Hey, someone sent me a private message a moment ago, but I accidentily navigated away from it and I don't know how to get back so I can respond. What should I do?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.

You are this troper, yeah?

That message was from me. It's the forum herald message.

Ok, apparently I've been locked out of my main account due to bad cookies. My main is called Gbrngfol. Can this account please be reset?

Property of Gbrngfol.

Hi, Could you please delete my old accounts, Black Ink and Black Ink 2 (i don't remember if there is a third one, possibly called Black Ink 3 or Black Ink temp). I forgot the password for all these, and i won't use them anymore. Thanks!

I didn't forget my password and I can log in just fine on my iPhone, but it won't log me in on my iPad for some reason. What gives?
