Registering more than 1 login method for the same account

Whilst most people would normally only register a single login method, others may prefer to keep their options open.


You are, therefore, able to register for the same IPDb account with either just the 1 login method or all 5!


Benefit: If one login method fails for whatever reason, you will still have the ability to log in with any of your other login methods.


To register multiple login methods for the same account:

  1.  Register an IPDb account with your first initial login preference (see details above)
  2.  Once logged in, go to the SETTINGS  (cog icon, bottom right)
  3.  In the Account section, press the Account setup button

This will display the account settings.

Now click on the 'Add Login Method' where you can choose which method to add to your account. The setup of the new method follows the procedure described above for each of these methods.
