I hate the idea of cluttering the forum with yet another post (especially with the forum software nagging me that, yes, the topic is super-similar to a lot of other messages), but I signed up over the weekend and can’t seem to access the NextCloud-related services (files, calendar, contacts, music, and maps). They won’t accept my password, but also tell me that my account isn’t set up for a device login when I try that option.

If there’s a self-serve solution to this that I’ve overlooked, or need to wait longer, I apologize for wasting everybody’s time.

Related newcomer questions, though: I already have Mastodon and Matrix accounts elsewhere, so it’s maybe not as relevant for me, but the questions nag. Should I also already have accounts on those servers, or do I create those manually for the usual reasons? Likewise, should I use those accounts for some Open Desktop-related reason, such as getting announcements that I wouldn’t get at my existing Matrix profile?

Thanks! (Both for providing the services and whatever help I get.)

It’s a known issue that we’re working on fixing as per [Can not log in to OpenDesktop.org Cloud](https://forum.opendesktop.org/t/can-not-log-in-to-opendesktop-org-cloud/21037). For now I’ve manually synchronised your accounts and you should be able to login to any of the other services, Nextcloud/Mastodon/Matrix now.
