Hi, I just lost 7 years worth of e-mails when both my system as well as my backup died (murphy I suppose). Anyway, I no logner have the mail which contained my authentication code. I can log in to my account on the site with my mail adres and password however the boinc cli does not work with that password as far as I can remember. a small snippet form the boinc_cmd help: --project_attach url auth I have logged in to my account here on the site but I cannot find that auth code. I am slightly reluctant to play stupid and request a new password since I do not know what the consequences will be. In short: how can I obtain this authentication code? As I said I still know my mail address and password so I can validate myself in a way. Thnks, -P |

Forgive me since I have never used CLI and I'm diving into unfamiliar waters. The only thing I found that seems to fit. See The BOINC command tool in the Boinc Trac.
I may be wrong, but I think the projects now only sends out a temporary (one hour) authentication code to allow login on to your account to change the password, when you use the forgot password link in the site log on. The only other way I can think of to get the code would be to use the GUI to attach to the project. You can then look in the BOINC folder for the 'account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml' file for <authenticator>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</authenticator> which I believe is what you're looking for. I hope this helps. Boinc V7.2.42 Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB, GTX470 |

You can use ./boinc_cmd --lookup_account http://setiathome.berkeley.edu youremail yourpassword then after a while you should see account key: youraccountkeyhere |
