@VTDonn I’m sorry you’re having difficulty logging in. Can you please provide a screenshot or two of the error messages you’re seeing? I don’t see any records of our sending you passwords reset emails.
Same thing happened to me. I have one password and user ID for the forum and another for inaturalist as I couldn’t get back in to the inaturalist site. I didn’t think to take a screenshot.
Hmm, the text box does say “username or email”. I was able to log in with my email address. (Edit: clarification that the original comment I replied to said username was likely required to log in)
I then:
clicked the Forgot password? link in iOS 3.1.1 (626)
entered my email to reset the password
received the email, clicked the link to change the password
(had to log out of my iNat account in my browser first, then had to go back to the email and click the link again)
changed my password
went back to the iOS app log in screen
entered my email and new password
logged in successfully
Stupid question, but @vtdonn can you confirm that the forestmetrix email is the email associated with that iNaturalist account?
For what it’s worth I was just able to repeat @bouteloua’s steps to change my password and log in successfully so I don’t think there’s a widespread bug.
@vtdonn I’m going to close this bug report as we haven’t heard back from you. Please contact help@inaturalist.org if you are still having difficulty logging in, and please let us know if you’re not able to log in at inaturalist.org.
