These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because of their myriad problems, and so wish to simply use their email to login to IRI. As such, it is a major headache for us, to cater to these requests one by one.
Very soon, for every FB-based IRI account, members...
more... will automatically get a prompt to convert their account to an email-based account. We shall provide a 2-month window for this migration. After a couple of months, ALL users must simply use their email+password to login.
FB login will be DISABLED in a couple of months.
The old simple system of email+password wins in the end!!!
Thanks.
I use my FB account to login IRI. I don't have any other email address apart from my Central Government work email. Do I need 2 create a new email address now? Central Government work email is confidential, hence can't use it elsewhere
okay from when for every FB-based IRI account, members will automatically get a prompt to convert their account to an email-based account start to be implemented ? Both member #1906262 & member #226565 is asking
This is coming soon. Sorry for the delay. It is NOT compulsory to use email/password; it is just an insurance in case your FB account stops working (for whatever reason, like app getting banned and other controversies).
Thanks.
I had my email address registered in IRI for login as Member #1155207, which was active from Nov 23 2014. But I had deleted that account on Mar 18 2015. So can I link the email address registered in IRI for login as Member #1155207 for my IRI current account as Member #226565 which is now being logged in by me using my FB Account.
