- Q. I tried to sign in with my old username and password, but they no longer work. What can I do?
-
A.
If you think you accidentally entered the wrong password or have forgotten it, sign in again and click "Forgot your password?" to have your password emailed to you. Users whose accounts remain inactive for more than six months (with or without profiles) may be archived from our member database. In that case, try registering again with your old username and a new password. If your old username is not available, register with a new username and password to begin your search for someone special!
