Solved Can't login to DA feedback site. Login option missing

[Richard G]

Hello.

Recently I used the feedback.directadmin.com to check something.

Now I wanted to login using my account to support a feedback request. However, it's not possible anymore.
It seems now to be required to login with Twitter, Facebook or Gmail account, which I don't like to use for these purposes -anywhere- and there are also people who don't use any of these accounts.

Something wrong there? Because I can't login with my normal e-mail and password anymore.
Or is that recently changed and why?

same issue last 3+ weeks, so I loggid in with token string from browser history..

 

[Richard G]

Well I don't have the token anymore, so it seems something needs fixing at DA.

Wish they would leave things alone - although, maybe the 3rd-party software changed it.

 

[Richard G]

I don't know. @fln any clue on to why this is not working anymore?

@Richard G, we have recently updated feedback.directadmin.com page settings to not allow pure email validation when creating new accounts due to high volume of fake accounts being registered just to spam. It requires Gmail or Facebook or Twitter account now. Does this really causes problems for legitimate users? Usually people have at least some dummy account just for situations like this.

For example I don't want to tell my personal data to any of this services, I'm using own domain-email.
Ok now I must register some gmail account with fake data just to keep using feedback page? Why don't use some link from my current verified account on this forum to log-in to feedback portal?

My opinion of this is that you shouldn't require people to enter into an agreement with a third party in order to log into your system. It's fine to support it, but standard email validation should still be allowed. I prefer this option for most cases.

thanks for feedback. Enabled back email only validated accounts.

 

[Richard G]

Thank you very much @fln for enabling it again.

Gmail or Facebook or Twitter accounts can be used for spam as well. I just don't like third party api's tracking me everywhere.
Glad login by user/password is back. I faced the same problem and mentioned it here: Something changed at https://feedback.directadmin.com/
