Question I cannot access Kaspersky forum

[JB007]

Hello,
It is a long time that I have not login in Kaspersky forum
Since yesterday I try without success and got the error message: "You are not permitted to register a user account with this site."
Can you help me ? (@harlan4096 or @Berny).

Hello @JB007

Welcome back
It looks like your account has been deleted
Some time ago all "My Kaspersky" accounts that havn't been used for a long time have been deleted.

Hello @Berny ,
Nice to speak with you.
"My Kaspersky" account is still existing and works fine (with my current licence, my applications and my devices), but I cannot access to the forum.
NB: my Kaspersky forum' pseudo is not "JB007"

Your problem is quite strange... I created an account without any problem (I used my MyKaspersky account, I have a license for Kaspersky Plus)

Thanks @Shadowra ,
You are right, it is strange because I can connect to "My Kaspersky" account.

A bit strange indeed... if you try to register via your MyKaspersky account, you can't?
No VPN?

You're right, that is strange, as both the forum and our My Kaspersky accounts use the same login credentials. But, maybe as Berny said, the forum reads the member's profile differently? I just checked on my end as well, no problems for both sites, even with Mullvad enabled but that was a good idea by @Shadowra

No, I cannot,I got the same error message (see my post #1).
And if I try to create a new account I got a message "there is yet an account with this mail address".
Yes I have Kaspersky VPN but I don't use it when I try to login.

In fact, it's not strange. It's affecting existing accounts, it seems. I had no problems creating 2 new accounts, but I was not allowed to log in with my original one. And if the account was deleted I should be able to use the nickname but no. I wasn't allowed to use the nickname since it was in use by the altered account. Quite a mess.

I will follow the suggestions provided by Danila here when I have more spare time.

Cannot login to forum!

Just tried to login to my account on K Forums, and it throws up this error message, saying my account needs to be linked. Okay, so I click the link, and it loads...the same page. I had to create a new account with a different email address just to post this. I've logged in dozens of times before!...

If You delete My Kaspersky account that is linked to K. Community, then the link breaks, and You won't be able to join the Community, logical on the other hand, because the condition to join the K Community is that you have and log in with an account for the My Kaspersky service.

Probably that is the reason, since if I remember correctly I probably deleted it at least once in the past since I've had troubles to activate the free version in my region. I even used ProtonVPN to do so, as the new version wasn't available for our region, and I was impatient to give it a try.

But I remember another possible reason. Kaspersky closed down the old forums some time ago, and we needed to migrate to the new platform. I've lost an account there as well, and all of my contacts.

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, with new community, We all old forum users had to migrate to new platform and join via our MyK account

Thanks @B-boy/StyLe/
That's the explanation for my problem because I unistall K and closed my MK account in february 2022: Yesterday I decided to uninstall Kaspersky ; then after some months of reflexion I come back to K because it is my favourite AV for my most important devices (for work).

So if my understanding is good I have to create a new account for the forum with a new email address ? because my principal address is not accepted even if it is the address used for my "My Kaspersky" account

 

[harlan4096]

Maybe You can try to contact to one of the admins, but You will need, a different account to do so, or contact to Kaspersky Support via that account.

Hello,
The support answered me that the only solution is to create a new account with a new email address.
That's the answer (Google translated):

"Dear customer
Good morning ,
Thank you for your patience .
I have the response from our experts who inform me that the account with the email address: .......... is not registered on the forum.
Unfortunately, due to technical limitations, registration on the forum via the specified email address is not available.
The solution is to use another email address for registration on the forum.
Sincerely"

Create a free Proton email account? I'm not sure of what you use, but when I was having problems with the F-Secure forum a while back, I created an account with them to be able to create a new forum account to see all of the posting options I wasn't getting. It since then has been cleared up. I already have 2 different Gmail accounts, so I can use the Proton account as a burn email address.

I agree with this, from your other post:
