Tip: Converting your Account to a Local iOSGods Account

Rook · September 9, 2017

What does this mean?

If you previously signed up to iOSGods using your Facebook or Twitter (or others) account but you no longer have access to those accounts then you are not able to login to iOSGods anymore. In this topic I will be showing you how you can convert your account so you can login with your Display Name & Password instead of social logins. This topic can also be used if you simply just have forgotten your password.

TIP This is also useful for iOSGods Authenticator & iOSGods App(+) logins. You can skip the social login process and login with your Display Name & Password.

Instructions

First of all, make sure your forum email is up to date. It's usually the same email that can you used on your Facebook/Twitter/Google account.
Now proceed to the 'Forgot your password' link (https://iosgods.com/lostpassword/).
You will now be asked for your account's email address. Enter your email address. Contact me if you do not have access to your email anymore.
Now open your email and you will see a new email from iOSGods. Click on it and read the email and follow the instructions to set a new password on your account.
NOTE If you did not get an email, check your spam folder(s) or try again later. Yahoo.com is known to not receive our emails at this time.
Once your new password is set, you will be automatically logged in to your local account without using any social logins!
Now you can log out and log back in using your Display Name on iOSGods and your newly set password.

That's it! You have now converted your iOSGods account to a local one!

You can still continue using Facebook/Twitter/Google to login. This will simply add a new way that you can login without using any of the social sign in options.
