Why can't I login with my email address and password?
To reduce potential security vulnerabilities and to minimize the amount of private data we store, this site no longer collects passwords from users. Instead, you can now login only with your Google account or an account from an approved institution.
For existing users, this means that if you previously used a non-Google email address for logging in, then you will need to let us know what Google address you will use in the future so that we can connect it to your account.
In future updates, we plan to expand login options and site functions to include other third-party services, such as ORCID, Twitter, Mendeley, and Facebook.
