Well...... I was taking literally click-by-click screenshots of the steps I took to verify all my information and log into a project through Boinc account manager. I got a login failed message again, got really angry and walked away, then came back, clicked back, re-pasted my password and user email from the same source...... and it logged in. I then proceeded to log in to all the projects I wanted with 0 issue.

IDFK

Thank you everyone who offered assistance, it was greatly appreciated.

I'm not really a network tech, but those words sound like they belong in that order lol. So how do I go about rectifying that?

First off, Science United is an ACCOUNT MANAGER.
If you had an account at the various projects previously you were registered and attached to you would need to use the login and password from those projects.

Edit to add... If you want to use Science United to decide what projects to attach to, you would need to register and create an account. By using Science United you will not get credits on your individual accounts and have no direct control of what individual projects you want to run in BOINC.


I understand what it is, was just trying to get something connected and could not connect to that. Thought it would be good to include it was not able to connect to that either.

Also, please tell us which BOINC version you use.
And check things like VPN, proxy, corporate firewall.


Ah yes, thank you. Version 7.22.2 64bit is what I have installed. I am not using a VPN currently and this is my home network so no corporate nonsense to contend with. On my router I set up the ports that a quick search seemed to indicate boinc and boincmgr utilize to pass through to the specific computer I am trying to run on.

I have returned to Boinc after some time having resolved some computer problems. Now I am running Windows 11 (last used on Windows 7) and am unable to seemingly connect to anything. When trying to connect to a project, it will ask my login info, then will prompt me with "Login Failed". This happens with any project I try to connect to. I have logged onto the sites which I wish to connect (ie: Milkyway@Home) to verify my login credentials, and was successful. I also made a Science United account to see if that would work.

In the event log trying to connect to Science United we return "No account found". When try to connect to any project as above with the login failed, the event log only shows "Fetching configuration file from [whatever project]".

I have verified through windows firewall that boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe are allowed through. I think I have allowed access the proper way through my network router (though I did get a bit confused and don't remember having to do so in the past).

I must be missing something, please help.
