I have many new developments planned for AMIStore in 2017.
The latest is a unified AmiSphere user account login. It is now part of the AmiSphereServer and once you login to a session you can access any program that uses AmiSphere credentials.
Here is the new ReAction based login window:
This will now replace the login system inside AMIStore.
There are currently three applications developed that use the AmiSphere login system: AMIStore, Updater, AmiSphere Prefs.
Updater is a new application that keeps track of your AMIStore purchases and also your Enhancer Software system updates. It will let you know when an update is ready to download and keep your files up to date. Updater replaces the old "My Purchases and Downloads" section built into AMIStore.
Click here to view the new Updater and AmiSphere login in action with AMIStore:
All A-EON Software will be updated this year to have a new menu option entitled "Check for updates.." which will start Updater automatically and download the latest update from the AmiSphere Server.
Here you can see the new AmiSphere Prefs where you can configure your user account:
This replaces the old section inside AMIStore.
Special thanks to AmigaDeveloper.com Team member, zzd10h for working hard on these ReAction based UI for these projects.
I have emailed you a new password and pmailed it to you here too. I suspect that your SPAM filter is stopping it.
@Elwood
No, AMIStore will not become obselete, it will just be evolved. The AmiSphere user account management is being developed separately so other applications can use one login.
I got the password through PM, nothing in my email account, nothing in spam, not even the mail you said you sent again
I am stuck with no working password again, so i have two requests
1) When i got my account data my username and password were switched (more information in pm), please change that
2) It seems the A-Eon/AmiSphere account doesn't allow special chars (!$%&,. etc.), please fix that, i don't want to give away my data with super easy to hack passwords like the ones i'm allowed to use (ABC and numbers)
Nothing in the process of changing my password in the account told me that i'm not allowed to use those special chars, but afterwards i was, again, not able to get back into my account AND into AmiStore, as it seems the AmiStore login just eats the special chars away, if i type them in no * character appears leaving me with an always wrong password.
So, my last request would be to send me another temporary password thorugh PM, please, but only after you fixed the above, otherwise i won't bother with AMiStore anymore
2) It seems the A-Eon/AmiSphere account doesn't allow special chars (!$%&,. etc.), please fix that, i don't want to give away my data with super easy to hack passwords like the ones i'm allowed to use (ABC and numbers)
The need for 'special' characters in passwords is an absolute myth, they increase the difficulty to remeber without adding anything meaningful to the amount of entropy in the password. They do add some, but length adds more.
[edit] What data was it you had on amistore that is so secret anyway? You can't buy anything without a seperate paypl login, so your financial data is not available, not that I'm saying you should be careless with your login, but paranoia should be proportional to risk!
Everytime i want to register a product it keeps asking for the AmiSphere login, if i give that information (and i use the correct passphrase, be sure of it) it locks me out with an error. Quote:
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Either the browser (Odyssey) or your website doesn't work correctly when checking passwords and sending the registration code.
I've written yet another PM and ask you to register the product to my account.
And, please, for the future, make it easier for your customers by providing a "Register your product" possibility WHILE they are already logged on, WITHIN their account (without the need of giving the password every time).
For the next version of AMIStore, the Credit Card payment will use the AmiSphere Payments system instead of opening a web browser.
It features a standard ReAction based window which can be used to add funds to your AmiSphere account for payment of AMIStore products. We will shortly be localising this to various languages ready and the hope is that it will make it easier and quicker to make credit/debit card payments in AMIStore.
