Re: [IETF] user id /passwd

[Allison Mankin <allison.mankin@xxxxxxxxx>]

This has turned out to be a frequently-asked question in nomcom correspondence.

Part of the reason is that for some folks, a datatracker login they may have been using for years turns out not to be linked to any email address recently identifying them within the IETF's systems (last X years...). 

Some people need ietf-action assistance getting over this glitch - that's all I want to say about it since my information is far from definitive.

Open, maybe sometimes glitchy, that's us.

From the main datatracker page (https://datatracker.ietf.org/) there is also a "New Account" link (top left) where you can:
        • Sign in
        • Request an account
        • Request a password reset
        • Change your datatracker preferences for this browser

Perhaps one of these would be helpful?
