Welcome to GRC's Off-Topic Lounge

Hey Everyone!

It seemed like a good idea to provide some place for conversation that doesn't fit neatly into any of the pre-defined "on-topic" forums. So, this is that place.

@Steve, Nice job on the MaxSpeed propaganda sheet. One thing...

see the links in the block at the upper-left

That only applies to desktops. On a mobile platform, there is no such thing.

Oh! Thanks Dave!

Hey Steve,

Made it here. Very easy using SQRL authentication and the simple registration process.

As a long time member of GRC NG's, first as a reader only, and then as an occasional poster, I have learned much, including the knowledge there is always much more to learn. And I have managed to contribute something worthwhile on occasion, along with an occasional dumb post.

I would be interested in being a moderator, although I'm not sure how qualified I may be, as a means of continuing to contribute.

@Steve I second @DanR 's comment about the ease of SQRL! That has GOT to catch on!

 

[jmcafee]

It would be interesting to see stats on the number of users that use SQRL for login vs. conventional login/pw.

 

[buzz]

I used sqrl of course

But we need a "real" iOS client...

Logged in by creating an account the 'old school' way, then tried the forgot password option which works fine too

 

[Qapla]

Just created an account using SQRL, that was really easy! I'll probably remain active in the newsgroups, but wanted to have the possibility to also post here.

@Steve, So I managed to create and SQRL account here but when I go back to the SQRL forum (SQRL Forum)I can no longer login using the same SQRL ID. See my post in the newsgroup : SQRL Login on SQRL Forum failing - Protocol Error

 

[Chauncy]

Yay!! SQRL login working.

 

[PHolder]

Protocol Error

Interesting @RayG. I am using my same SQRL identity with both without issue. It appears you found some sort of a bug that @Steve will need to dig into the logs maybe.

 

[BruceP]

Logged in the old fashioned way as well. Audio captcha was no fun as usual, except to confuse the Google voice recognition.

In my case, the SQRL forum is asking me to register. It is as if I was never there. Maybe Steve is working out some bugs.

Yeah. Jeff's client leaves a lot to be desired.

And thanks for all the kind words about SQRL, everyone. I'm proud of what we were able to achieve with that. It really does (and would) revolutionize authentication.

Hmmmmm... I don't know what's up with SQRL over in the SQRL forums. It's still working for me, and Paul Holder indicates that it's working from him. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the setup of these forums, but I'll see what I can determine. Thanks for the reports!

@Steve,

I had a thought - I know always dangerous...

But it did provide the answer to my SQRL login issue on the SQRL Forum.

I have the GRC SQRL client and the SQRL Chromium V0.0.55 installed on my system. If I use the installed GRC Client, it has a different password to that stored in the MS Edge Chromium Client. and that is what is causing the issue and protocol error. So, I don't know if there is a better error message that can be used as "Protocol Error" does not really impart the real reason for the login failing.

Steve Congrats for the forums. God speed to you. Right now for the next 45 days I am kinda locked up in my day work project not having much time to contribute to Spinrite Beta program although I am reading every one of the posts in the Newsgroups. I am just helpless on that. However if I have even the slightest time - (I am working now 14 hrs a day)- I will be back to work for you.
