Hey @ll,

wanted to start contributing to this amazing project - but got a stop sign shoved in my face.
When trying to register my account I fill out the necessary fields .. add a username and select a group and a passkey... click "register"
And.. Error / Bad Put Request .. Who uses put-webrequests?
Any idea how to prevent it?

v8.3.18 - Windows 11 24H2 current drivers and updates...
The webclient runs in an Chrome tab (current official 64bit 131.0.6778.265)

machine log shows no error - except a cuda warning coz I dont have Nvidia GPU

Please upgrade to v8.4.9
https://foldingathome.org/beta/
and use https://v8-4.foldingathome.org/

Get passkey from https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey
Passkey is not a password or passphrase.
Don't let a password manager make up junk.

Please read user guide linked to on download page.
