I've been using BOINC for a handful of projects almost since it went public, but suddenly my account has disappeared. Neither of the e-mail addresses I had registered under are recognized any longer, nor the account authenticator codes for the projects I was on.

What happened to my BOINC account?? :'(

Project accounts is something you should take up with the affected projects.

As for an account here, it does happen at times when we clean out the database from those pesky spammers, that an innocent's account is taken along with it, especially when you registered in between a small country of spammers.

Otherwise it's probably at an email address you didn't check. Same for the projects. The email address is the unique identifier.
