They've all been sorted -- as have you :)

User name and password
 

I originally signed in using my Facebook account. Now, I would rather login directly to FT. However, I am not sure what my Username and password are. How can I determine those?

This thread may help:

BTW, welcome to FT!

lin821 - Thanks for the link. It talked a lot about many people having this problem but seemed to leave most of them needing to be sorted by an administrator. I too ran into a dead end. Could I give you the email address I want used and you send me a temp pwd at that email address?

You can send the email address that you would like associated with your account to me via PM and I'll change the access to your account. Thank you.

IBcash already provided you the solution.

But FWIW, most account access issues, if not all, have to be sorted out by admin on FT. For future reference, if you shoot a PM or email directly to any of the IB people, you'll get the assistance you need.

Thanks
 

Thanks to lin821 and IBcash. That got it.

Migrating from facebook connect to an FT account
 

Hi, I signed up with flyertalk using my facebook credentials (mostly due to laziness) but I now want to migrate to an FT account, because the FT mobile app doesn't support facebook (the mobile website does, but not the app) and also because I keep getting logged out.

But I want to retain my existing user name as well as my past posts. Even if I can't retain my current user name, I'd like my old posts associated with my new FT id. Is this possible?

thanks

Looks like my request was moved to this thread. As a followup note that everything in the FAQ talks about disconnecting an existing FT profile from a FB profile. Well, I don't have an FT user name/password, so if I go to my edit profile, it asks me for my 'existing password' which I have no idea about (because I don't have an FT password - and my FB password is not known to FT).

Advice is appreciated.

Hello Arjunrc,

Please check your PM, I am happy to assist you with this change! Thank you.

IBPark, thank you for the assistance. All set now ^

FB login?
 

I use Facebook to log into FT, but I don't like that it shows my real name. I can't figure out where to change this to an alias.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Unlink facebook
 

Hi,
I've the same problem as arjunrc before: how can I unlink my account from facebook connect in order to login using a username and password on the mobile app?
thank you so much!

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. Please follow the next steps to transition from Facebook Connect account to Regular account. Once you have a regular account, you will be able to sign on using a username and pw on the mobile app as well.

1.) Log in to FlyerTalk through FB Connect

2.) Send me (IBpark) a private message (not email) from that account, giving me an email address you want to use.

3.) I will unlink your account from Facebook, add the new email address, and will then change the password to a TEMPORARY PASSWORD

4.) I will send you a private message with the new temporary password. You will have to log out and log back in, and then change your password using MyFlyerTalk, Edit Email and Password.


Let me know if you have any questions.

Who can we contact about this, now that this user is no longer admin?
