Wc3connect does not allow you to make the same username as your forum account

Postby gc995 » Mon Nov 12, 2018 6:45 pm

Hello I'm having issues with my Wc3connect, the issue is, my bnet account is gc995, it works fine I played a ton of RPGs on it, and I learned of Ent a while back and created an account to host games, now wc3connect came out and now here's my issue, when I first got wc3connect I thought ok this is cool I can login with my forum account, then I go to login and it says that the password is wrong, so I change it on the forum cause I thought I forgot it, then try to login again and I thought to myself "hunh, this is weird." so I change it again and try again and it doesn't work so I say f*** it, and create a new account with the same name it says it's already taken and now I'm pissed off cause literally the only time my username is taken is when I create an account... this username is so unique and nobody would want it. Now, I result to making a new name but this didn't occur to me when I made the new account, the LAN name has to be the same as your wc3connect account or you will be D/C'ed. And now I'm pissed even further cause now I can't use any of the 1000's of codes I've generated from playing so many different RPG's. Is there a way to merge or change the name of my Wc3connect to fit the Username: gc995

I saw that someone else in a different post got there account "imported" is there a way to automatically do that? or something to initiate it? I'm pretty sure that's the issue at this point.

Hello @gc995

I have gone ahead and copied over your forum accounts password hash. This means you'll be able to use your forum password for your in-game wc3connect password.

At this time, this is the only method for changing your password.
Eventually, we plan to incorporate a feature for users to change their own password.

Processing.
