LDS Tools not accepting my user name & password

#1

Post by nertz1 »

When I try to log in after installing LDS Tools it tells me that my username or password is incorrect. Username and password work fine here and LDS.org. Any help please? I have already uninstalled it and re-installed it.

Same here, and the link to register takes me to a web page, where the same LDS Account credentials work to log in.

Do you have any "odd" characters in either your user name or password? Anything non-alphanumeric?

I'm also having this problem. It was working just fine last Sunday when I downloaded updated information for the calendar in my ward. However my phone got erased so I had to re-download the app on Saturday and since then it says that the e-mail and password are wrong. My wife's account won't work either.

As a test I had my buddy who also has a Windows Phone try to download updated data for the LDS Tools app on his phone and it said the same thing to him (wrong e-mail / password). So it looks like 100% repro from the people who have tried it that I know. It was working last week some something between Sunday afternoon and Saturday morning caused the issue.

My wife and I only have alpha numeric characters in our user names.

No. The same credentials work on my Android devices and on the iPad.

That's odd as it should be user name, not email.

Both my wife and I have windows 7 phones. I have install LDS tools on both phones and neither of our accounts work on either of the phones.

Phone 1 HTC Titan with full windows updates
Phone 2 LG Quantum with full windows updates

Wife's username and password are alpha numeric with no odd characters
My account is alpha numeric with a ! at the end of my password.

Useful tool for my calling but I can not use it.

Just got a brand new Lumia in the mail today. First app I loaded was LDS Tools. I'm running into the same error as everyone else. Works fine on my Android devices but the WP device isn't authenticating. My standard password is a mix of alpha/numeric - no special characters. I tried:

-- Using my email as my user name (along with just my user name)
-- Changed my password a couple of times
Locked
