Two accounts

Post by TaiwanJohn »

Somehow I have two accounts showing on my two computers. They both have the same user name, and email address, and seem to have different amount of completed WU shown. The one I just updated to a passkey. The other has been signed in for a long time.

How can these be combined?

Thanks

I will try that.

I will have to sign out of the long term one which isn't signed in with a passkey.

You don't need to sign out of anything. Passkey is not your password or passphrase.
Passkey can be requested here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey
And it can be entered in Account Settings section in your v8 web control, by clicking on your avatar (while logged in to your fah account). Other computers just need to be linked to your account by installing v8 client, launching it, logging in to your fah account, and then link it to your account when prompted. That should be enough for all machines to fold under same username
