Every time I try and login to the account (the one this is posted on) on the manager it pops up that the account is made with another password or that the account is not made, this happens at random which I find very sloppy in itself and I find the legitimacy of these projects very hard to grasp as the coding behind most of these would far surpass that of a simple login and sign-in system. Any information on why both of these errors occur at once and a fix to this will be highly anticipated and the feasibility of how any of this could even be legitimate and not an easy way to get uninformed people to share time for free through false allegations as well. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you in the near future.

So, you say you need help, but at the same time question the legitimacy of BOINC and its projects, and you feel that it all hangs together by sloppy programming. I'd check the courtesy manual for a better approach the next time.

You're posting on the BOINC forums.
Nothing here of these forums communicates with BOINC or the manager (the graphical user interface).
So you cannot log in via the manager on the forums here.

It's possible that you go to a project's website/your account there via the buttons in the manager's project commands, but without telling which project you're trying to log into, no one can help. Also check that you didn't at first connect BOINC via the weak account key, and then changed your password on the project's website as then the weak account key changes as well. The password and weak account key are connected.
