Problems logging in and creating an account
I registered an account and played just fine for a while, but once I stopped playing I was unable to log in again.
I read a post where people reported they were able to retrieve their account but unable to login. I cannot do either. I receive the error "Credential download failed, check your username/password" when I try to retrieve my account.
When I select my name from the pulldown list and tried to login with my password I get the message "The password you entered is not correct. Try again." I know my password. The only explanation I can think of is that I typed it wrong twice, but that seems highly unlikely. I already tried enabling caps-lock in case that was on when I first entered my password.
I also tried to create a new account just so I could play but now I get the following error: "The Authentication Server understood your request, but chose not to fulfill it."

As for your password problem, what type of encryption did you use?
Because ~/GameData/public.store does not have the password in plaintext. Nor does ~/GameData/private.store
I'll go fishing in the other configuration and resource files, but so far I am under the impression that Tribes does not store the password in plaintext at all.
This does sound like a case of a wrong password though. If you can't log in and you can't retrieve the credentials, then the password isn't the same as the one entered during creation.
