I can't log in into my account on SR, everything's correct but it keeps going back to the login page. any ideas?
-
Try closing tor and restarting it.
-
Still nothing, this is the correct url? http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion? I haven't logged on for a couple of days so I don't know what happened.
-
I experienced the same problem for hours today, then after entering the same password for the 40th time, i got logged in ???
I was wondering if my account somehow got hacked, but it still has every bitcoin :D
-
repeated attempts to log in has failed. my first thought was that I used to share this account with a buddy of mine but he started to abuse drugs so I changed the password/pin number on him so he couldn't log in. I realize that I can't request a password reset from the admins because it'd defeat the whole purpose of being anon, if that is true, therefore my buddy wouldn't be able to get the password changed to get into my account. I'm paranoid that the LE has infiltrated SR and is collecting usernames/passwords like a phishing site would. I just have like $1.50 worth of bitcoins on my account so I'm not worried about losing anything, my only concern about it is that my reputation as a buyer, it's a very good one. I don't feel like making a new account then building that up all over again.
:/
Update: just attempted to make a new account, nope. not working for me at all. I give up. I'll try again tomorrow. le sigh.

Not having cookies enabled has been known to cause that behavior.
-
How do I enable cookies? I'm running the latest TOR package, it comes with its own TorBrowser, not like firefox or anything like.
-
Well I'm running the latest Tor Browser too, it's just a custom build of Firefox.
You can check the cookie settings just like you would in regular Firefox.
Cookies are enabled and I still can't log in (only succeeded once yesterday).
-
OK so I browsed this forum a bit more, and it seems like this problem is fairly common.
I tried all the advice posted in other threads (check that cookies are enabled, use a new identity, close and restart tor) and I still get "login failed, please try again" every time... I guess I'll just keep trying, and message an admin if I still can't login within a few days :-\
-
I'm locked out of my SR account too. I know my password is right. I'm totally baffled.
I have a 2nd buyer account and can log into that one just fine, so it's not a cookie issue.
Could this system maintenance glitch be causing this? Is there anything an admin can do to help? I'm desperate now because I have money and orders pending in the account.
-
I'm wondering about that too, but it makes no sense. Apparently there was a glitch, bringing the site back to the way it was a bit earlier, but I don't see how it would cause us to be locked out of our accounts. Unless the glitch was related to database corruption, or the site being hacked. But there's no way to know about that unless there's an announcement about it...
-
I created a new account and messaged support from there. They're helping me get back my account, but it takes a while. They just asked me to confirm the last wallet address I deposited money to.
-
I am also having this problem, i joined today after hearing from a friend and my first login attempt after registering comes up with the login failed message.
i am unsure if i logged out of SR eariler, is this an issue?
-
I am not even getting a login failed message....it simply just sends me back to the login screen. I even made a second accound and it wouldn't work. I have given my computer many restarts and nothing is working!
