Hi Community,

my problem:

My name at BAM is BaNe, my name in WCG (old world community grid accoung) is Bayne. Same names were not possible, because some1 else already took my name

When I want to add WCG as a Project, I click on the magnifier and the result is "Incorrect password".

What is BAM doing here? The Email-Adress is the same for both Accounts (here and WCG) and so is the password.

How to fix this? Why can't I login manually in WCG and add this to my BAM Account?

Thanks in advance!

Problem partly solved: Changed both Names to a third one, now it works.. but: I want my Name back so the the answer to my problem is still not yet found

Unfortunately, you have to use the same username, email and password for BAM. Furthermore, getting WCG to work with BAM can be pretty difficult, as their custom interface doesn't play well.

Thank you very much! Frustrating, but it's an 'ok'-solution.

Frustratingly for me, with a preexisting World Community Grid (WCG) account, these need to match:
BAM username - WCG email
BAM password - WCG password
So I had to change my BAM username into my email, add the WCG project into BOINC, then change it back.
Why didn't I create an account through BAM? Well, I tried but got server errors.
Adding WCG is still a problem in 2023, so I hope this reply helps.
