The ONLY different requirement on the new login system is that passwords had to be a minimum of 7 characters instead of the 5 character minimum we used to have.
Correction: the old system only required 3 characters for your PW
And actually, my old password was only 4 characters.

Hosts: are you sure this new system is actually doing what you think it is doing?

Snake, I mean the new way - Log out, then click the "Log In or Register" button found on forums.edmunds.com. Then, click "sign in" on the pop up, way down at the bottom of the pop-up. Enter your email address associated with your original account, and the password you chose when registering for Insider with that email. THEN, let me know the exact wording of any error message you get.

On each device and computer, once I logged out and came back to the forums, the new sign in window popup came up and I signed in with my Insider credentials.
This is about the DEVICES more than the system. I assume that at some point, the system is going to stop recognizing "remembered" credentials and take you to the new sign in. But no need to wonder why, just sign out sign in... you've already done it twice

Then I logged in at the Insider login. Worked fine to get to the Insider page. But when I went to Research|Forums, it took me back to the old log in for the Forums. I was hesitant to sign in again there. I was concerned I'd lose my history.
I went back to Insider. Signed in. Then did sign in at Forums, with the Howdy Stranger log in so familiar.
It worked. I have my post count and all else.
Strange that I had to log in at two places. Not what I expected.
This is working for me.
We'll see if I have to log in twice when I log back in on the next device.

xwesx - those who are having issues used a different email to sign up for Insider than they used for their forums profiles. The system has no way to match them. But, no sense in logging out if you don't have to!
UPDATE: Same experience, Imidazol. I'll find out whether that's intentional or accidental. May be intentional as there's not a lot of crossover right now between Insider users and forums users.

When I get around to it later, I will try logging on using my PC. But the log in process for my iPhone was smooth and uneventful.

Kudos to all the mods and Kirstie. I hope those of us having difficulties will soon be up to speed. It is obvious that PF_Flyer and Kirstie are right on top of things based on their almost immediate responses to posters having problems.

It HAS to stop raining soon because my wipers have been on so much lately that I'm about to change wiper blades that I've only had on for about 6 months
Perhaps I can trade in for an Ark

Handsome as ever, snake.
Well I'm not. Still sunburned but that started before the switch over. If I used my old email, that was also wrong eventhough I tried to change it many times over the years, I would not have recevied the confirmation email with the link to complete my Insider Account. This new monster has not been close to what it was supposed to be, at least not for me, but I'm not the least bit surprised. The reverse would have surprised me.

What happens here for you when you go into the profile section and try to edit that old email address?

Oh wait, I haven't gone out yet!

Wait, does that mean when I log out and log back in my actual name will appear instead of oldfarmer50? That would be a real invasion of privacy for those who wish to remain anonymous.
Hope I'm misunderstanding.

Earlier today the problems surfaced when I logged out then back in with my dumb phone. That is when I had to become @jmonroe1, which BTW doesn't even show on the pick list when you enter the @ sign on the old site but I see there is a jmonroe4. Talk about a wannabe, that guy is at the top of that list.
Now to answer your question when I went into the profile section on this new system. I don't see an editable spot for your email now like on the old system but like I have said before I couldn't correct the old incorrect email anyway, so nothing really lost now with no editable email box. All I see is 5 boxes for providing info.
Screen Name
Vehicle(s) I own
Location
More about me and
Vehicle(s) that interest me
I am not going to log out and then back in on my PC until the system glitches and I have to. So, when you see me show up as @jmonroe1 you'll know I am making that post from my dumb phone and when I show up as my old self (@jmonroe), you'll know I am posting from my PC. Clear as mud, right? This place deserves my seamless posting scheme.
