b0dyr0ck2006 57 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This whole user setup is overly complicated. I added a new user the other day and it brought my attention to the hoops users must go through. currently it is: I set up a new user on the server new user then has to create an account on emby forum user then has to confirm link in email user then get an activation email and has to sign into the forum to change their password user then needs to inform me of their username I add this to the server user then has to login and confirm their account by going to a web address to add a pin user can finally user emby (Imagine the trouble in explaining this to a 60 year who doesnt undertand tech) Surely it should be all done on the login page: I set up a new user on the server new user logs into their account where emby then asks for a password to be setup user adds a password and then has access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediacowboy 438 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Do you have a static ip or use some form of dynamic dns? I ask because to add a remote user to my server all I do is create a new user. Setup a password. Give them my URL I formation and port. Have them select their name. Input their password. Done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14935 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 One thing you could do is create the Forum/Emby account for them. All you would need is an email address for them and to tell them to confirm the account when the email comes in. Then you add them as a guest and they confirm that one more time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You are correct of course, but the randomly generated password that is supplied is more than overly difficult to input and/or remember in comparison to a user selected password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 When you create an account you choose your password. When was a randomly generated password assigned? the only thing I can think of is the forgot password function. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0dyr0ck2006 57 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Its been a while since I last had to set up a new user so my memory is a little foggy, perhaps it isn't during the account creation process. Maybe i am just remembering the back and forth following links in emails and activating, Its three emails in total I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
