Mojo Brings Democracy Back 29 Apr, 2025 / 6 comments

One of the primary complaints we routinely hear around here is that you want to log in and comment on news, but have forgotten your credentials. A problem that has plagued humanity since creation.

Well, fear not, Mojo loves you and Mojo brings solutions, plural.

First, we’ve joined 2015 and added magic-link logins. Type in your email address, receive a link, tap it, and, boom, you’re good to go.

Still the old-fashioned type who prefers usernames and passwords, while routinely forgetting their password? Reset it, just like you did in (conservatively) 2002.

This does, of course, require a Mojo account, so sign up if you haven’t already.

(Also note that this is all beta (at best), so breakage is not only expected, it’s all but set in stone.)

    Just curious whether using the magic link will make me post this as Sushi (my comment account) or as Sushi Strikes Back (my forum account), which are both linked to the same email.
    I think.
    Unless of course I forgot that too.

    🥳

    That’s right -- Mojo also supports emojis, no big deal.

    Within this new login paradigm, is there a way to change my username… so I may unshackle myself from the attempted wit of teenage me from a quarter century ago? That kid had terrible taste.



    No (and why would you with that sweet, sweet name), but let me know what you want it switched to, and I can reset it.



    Sent an email to webmonkey. Thanks!
