Registering question.
If someone is registering with for example Steam, he don't have an email. To change email he needs password, but he don't have password as well... Is there a solution? I'm confused, in this situation i see only way is for users to ask admin for email change.

Hi Daniel,
As Steam does not send any email to oneall, we must generate one for the user to be able to create his myBB account (which is linked to his Steam account). We NEVER receive passwords from providers.
The password is autogenerated. The user can edit his mail and his password in his myBB account if he wants to.
He doesn't need to use the combination email/password as he used Steam to log in that the principe of Social Login.
To be clear, you will have a myBB account for each user which is create with his provider information (email if we receive it, name...) and to this account is linked his provider accounts (Steam, Facebook...). So, your user can if we wants login with the email/password tradional way (he will need to edit the password before) or just login via Social Login.
Best regards,
Damien
When users register through platforms like Steam, account management can become confusing if they do not have an email address or password. A good solution is to provide alternative verification methods or allow users to contact the admin for help recovering access. Clear instructions can also make registration easier. On a different note, people who enjoy quizzes and testing their general knowledge may find Telenor Questions worth exploring. It offers quiz-related content for users who want to practice answering questions and make learning more engaging in their daily routine.
