Hi

My local Trello on my computer is logged into my account as first.last@gmail.com
Everything is fine here.

I am also trying to log into Trello on the web but It doesn't allow this and wants me to create an account with firstlast@gmail.com
(Note the period missing between first and last name) 

Which is what I actually had to create and use in order to post here on this forum

How can I fix this - so both web browser and local Trello App are logged into the same account

Thanks

Hi @Joel Sprechman ,

Welcome to the community!

Just to clarify, are you saying that when you try to log in with your email address containing the period , Trello is still asking you to log in or create an account with the version without the period?

Please try the following steps:

  1. Open a private/incognito browser window.

  2. Go to https://trello.com/login.

  3. Enter the exact email address you want to use (with the period) and your password.

Trello will prompts you to create a new account, only if there’s no existing Trello account for that email address. Double-check which email is associated with your working Trello account by going to your account profile in the Trello app.
