Hello,
I'm trying to login to my XDA account using XDA Free (app) from the Google play store. I'm entering my correct credentials on it, but it denies me to login. Wrong username or password.
If it doesn't work, what's the purpose of this app? To piss people off?
I am using my LG Optimus G Pro (Unlocked).
I have paid for the pro version and it has never been any problems with it before. But now when is log in i always get the errormsg Failed to connect to forum please contact forum admin, or similar do not remember exact words. I have reinstalled the app but it did not help. But apparently it am in because it post this text now, so what might be the problem?
To make it as simple as possible:
I registered my accound and bound it to certain gmail address that I use for basically everything.
When I log in using my ACCOUNT NAME, it redirects me to this account. But when I use GOOGLE+ login form, it logs me into some wierd new account called bill pap CLICK ME, despite the fact that my gmail is bound to Amadeusz90.
What is going on, did somebody try to hijack my mail/XDA account? How the hell do I get redirected to some weird account while using my own e-mail?
Can you give it a look, XDA team? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It seems like your browser is at fault. Try a different one or clear cache and try again.

Somebody must of changed the public account password as it says it is not correct. This is ridiculous that I can't enable a service without a password. Anyone else having this problem?
I sent a message via Facebook and they fixed it. That was fast.
Make your own account. I think using a public account is not safe. I was able to make my own account using a SMS verification service online (https://onlinesim.ru/en). You'll have to buy "credits" (i purchased 51 credits for a buck or so) to use a china based number (i used the "telegram" verification option and had a verification number pretty quick). Once you get an account bind your personal email and set up a password. Hope this was helpful.

What happens if you have to verify your phone number again and the online one is no longer available?

Then you verify it through the email you linked to the account.

Hey you were kind enough to help me get an account set up last week. I had to reset my phone and I am able to log into my Vivo account again using my email and password that I linked to it. The phone then asks you to request a code again through your phone number. I was hoping that would be forwarded to my email but I guess not as I don't receive any codes within the one-minute time frame. Any ideas?
Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?

There is no need to use software or any kind of "hack" to recover the password if your are signed into the device with that account, as you claim you are.
If you're signed into the phone with the same Google account, use the "forgot password" feature, it will send an email to your gmail account, then just open the gmail app on the device and then find the email they send to change the password. If you are signed into the device with that account then you have access to the gmail app and the email for that account so this method should be sufficient.

Hello mate, thanks for you reply.
Yes, I'm logged into my main phone with the account that I'm trying to recover. If I do the "forgot password" feature from the browser or from the phone directly it will ask me the same things like it already did. I can complete all steps apart the mail one since the recovery mail is expired (my bad that I didn't change it).
For that I'm looking for some software/tricky way.
Regards.

Look inside here:
How to recover your Google Account or Gmail - Google Account Help
If you forgot your password or username, or you can’t get verification codes, follow these steps to recover your Google Account. That way, you can use services like Gmail, Photos, and Google Play.
support.google.com
You should have a phone number and another email account associated with your Google account. You risk completely and permanently losing access otherwise.
These accounts seldom get hacked if you have a very strong password that you change periodically, but it's not 100% hack proof.
Experience has taught me never to use verification Qs, the devil is in the details.
One missed letter in any of the brain picking Q responses can bone you hard.
Lol, do you really want Google to know your mother's maiden name? NO.
I lost a Gmail account over a decade ago due to hackers along with thousands of other Gmail users. It can happen... cover your assets

Lol, I have dyslexia and my passwords are so cryptic that cut and paste are my usual input method.
They look like MS activation codes
So they can be sort of easily enter manually if needed.

YES.
If Google's advices can't help so how XDA members could help? Do you really think that they know it better than Google?
