Mando Hangout - Improvements and Suggestions Forum Feed

Login change effective today

Just a quick heads up to let you know that today we changed how logins work across all Hangouts.

In the past, you logged in with your username and password. Starting today, you will log in with your account email address and password.

We made this change for a few reasons:

People often forget their Hangout username, but generally can remember their email address.
People often try to log in with their email address, not their username, because that's the norm nowadays.
We've seen an uptick in hackers trying to get into accounts by entering known usernames (from the forum, etc) and guessing passwords. Requiring entry a private email (we don't display your email address anywhere on the site) instead of a public username makes it much tougher to get into someone else's account.
People don't always realize their account is tied to an old/defunk email address. So this change has the side benefit of ensuring people know which email is in use!

Please post below if you run into any problems, etc.

Had enough.
No longer worth the nonsense in my messages.
Deleting membership.
All the best to the rest of you.

Why do fake posts with commercial links persist on Mando Hangout???
It's getting ridiculous.

Improvement

Just have to tell you all I took my mandolin into Cumberland Acoustics, had them do a set up and change my bridge to one of theirs. Wow what a sound difference, if you are looking for better sound that is sustained this is the bridge you need. Great people to deal with as well, they are in Hendersonville TN.
