For privacy and security reason we did not port your passwords over to the new website. Your posts, replies, photos and reports should all be in tact under your old username and email address. Use the process below to reset your password and regain control of your account.
Note: There are two emails steps in this process.
1. Use the recover password form
Using the email address you used to register for an idofishing.com or idohunting.com Member account, enter it into the form field and hit GET NEW PASSWORD. This will send an email to verify the ownership of your account and have a link to generate a new Temporary Password.
Getting a ‘no registered user found’ message?
Keep in mind the email address you used to register may be out of date. You will receive this error if the email you entered is not found in the user database, but remember to try any email you think you might have used at the time.
I registered with an email I don’t have access to anymore.
If you used an email you no longer have access to, or an email that wasn’t yours originally you will need to contact a moderator to gain access to your account. Please provide them with any details you can including your Username and current contact email, using the form on the Contact Us page.
2. OPEN THE FIRST EMAIL
Check the email account of the address you entered. You should receive a verification email to the address you entered within a few minutes of submitting the form. Click the LINK in the email to generate a temporary password which will come in a second email.
Note: Some Usernames were changed to remove spaces, special characters, and duplicates. Verify the new Username in the email which will be your new Login.
Didn’t receive a verification email?
Make sure the email address you entered was correct, and check your Span or Trash folders for an email from [email protected]. If you don’t have access to the email account, please complete the steps above using the form on the Contact Us page.
3. Check for a second email, This will contain your Temporary Password
Clicking the link in the first email will generate a Temporary Password, sent to your email account. The second email contains a randomly generated Temporary Password and a reminder of your username.
Note: Some Usernames were changed to remove spaces, special characters, and duplicates. Verify the new Username in the email which will be your new Login.
4. Login using the details from the second email.
Click the link in the second email to access the Login form. Use your new username and Temporary Password to login to your Member profile. Upon successful login, you should be directed to your Profile page, where you can update your password to something secure and private.
Having trouble with Login?
Return to your emails and make sure you have the right username. Some usernames were changed because of platform requirements to remove spaces, special characters and duplicates. This will be your Login name going forward. You can change your Display name in your settings.
5. Change your password to something secure and private
Once you login and gain access to your account, you should be redirected to your Profile settings to update your password to something secure and private. If you don’t see that page, navigated using your profile image in the top right corner, then click the SETTINGS tab.
