It doesn’t seem to be working for me; I tried to reset my password, and it keeps saying “user not found”, although I doublechecked and it is the same email I have on my account here on lesswrong.
We have a copy of the database from 3 months ago (will be updating to a more recent one on launch), but this means that if you added an email to your account later than that we might not have it.
So there’s no way for us to login with our regular accounts before the launch? Is it scheduled for anytime soon?
I’d hate to keep seeing all the constant promotion for your site without being able to check it out (since I am not really up for using a temporary account).
Yeah, I apologize. Getting a complete copy of the database requires us to coordinate with Trike Apps and is a lot of work for everyone, so we are limiting the number of complete ports to 2 (i.e. one three months ago, and one on launch).
I am working on a merge-accounts feature, so while I can’t absolutely guarantee one, it’s very likely you will have the ability to merge your old LW account with any temporary account you create now.

Same here. I just made a new account.

Will there be a way to merge accounts?
Yeah, that’s the issue, then. And there’s no way around that, no way to just let us temporally log in and confirm our emails later?
