Doomworld sign-in issue
Title.
Bascially I "created" my account through Google and when trying to sign-in through it I get a "Access blocked: This app’s request is invalid" error. I saw a couple other threads on there with the same issue where Mordeth stated in one of them that it's been broken since March. Another user said if you click "Forgot Password" you can recover your account but I never recieve the email to confirm and signing in through normal means claims the password is invalid (same password used to sign-in to Google). Signing in through any of the other options (Discord/Steam/etc) tells me to confirm through Google which I obviously cannot, lol.
I've asked a buddy to PM the admins directly and he got no response as of yet (this was over a month ago). Any way to recover my account?

Re: Doomworld sign-in issue
What about signing in directly and resetting the password?

Re: Doomworld sign-in issue
This issue has been rather consistent and it pains me to see it is still raised from time to time which leads me to believe the underlying issue has not yet been resolved.
Have a look at similar DW threads and try the solutions given there:
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/1 ... le-account
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/1 ... -on-mobile
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/1 ... le-borked/
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/1 ... nt-problem
I also have it on record that Mordeth has been online mere minutes ago so i have to wager he forgot about the original PM.
What is your old account and accountname? Ill just PM Mordeth myself and link him to this thread and the other DW threads to highlight this issue remains active.

Re: Doomworld sign-in issue
I tried everything suggested in those threads before and nothing worked unfortunately, even creating a new account using the email that I used to "create" my actual one through Google sign-in stated that the email was already in use. I can't remember if his post said it was March or June since it's had issues but the reasoning was some attack on the forum lead to it being disabled and it's been broken since.Redneckerz wrote: ↑Tue Dec 30, 2025 6:31 am This issue has been rather consistent and it pains me to see it is still raised from time to time which leads me to believe the underlying issue has not yet been resolved.

It's not too much of a deal really, but I use the account to submit demos and I plan on running again soon.

Re: Doomworld sign-in issue
Google, and Microsoft even more so, are terrible providers of protection in the sense that they make it a real PITA for the user to login under the idea that this is safe behavior. We have to deal with similar issues at work and its stupid.Daedalus wrote: ↑Tue Dec 30, 2025 9:07 amI tried everything suggested in those threads before and nothing worked unfortunately, even creating a new account using the email that I used to "create" my actual one through Google sign-in stated that the email was already in use.
