Not being able to log in with my e-mail and my password

Hello everyone,

I can’t log in to my account in a PC because Anki doesn’t offer me to connect me with an e-mail and a password. I can only create accounts without email and password. Is it because I am trying to do that on a high school PC? Is it possible to log on to my account in Anki anyway?

Thank you for your answers !

Possibly that the connection to AnkiWeb is blocked by your institution’s network connection. I’d recommend using a VPN or an DNS to bypass it.

Also, why you doing it on a school computer? Are you trying to install Anki with it?

Are you talking about logging in at https://ankiweb.net/? Or logging in within Anki in order to sync with AnkiWeb?

I wanted to study my flashcards during free time using Anki, because I don’t like studying on AnkiWeb. I don’t think that using things such as VPN or DNS are allowed in my high school.

I am talking about logging in within Anki, AnkiWeb works. I prefer using Anki.

I think they didn’t specifically blocked Anki, I think I am the only one who installed Anki on a school’s PC

How are you trying to log in to Anki? Just in Preferences > Syncing? When you enter your email and password – are you getting some sort of error?

Do you really want to install Anki and sync your whole collection on a shared-school computer that anyone could access? For folks using a shared computer, it seems a lot safer for your data if you run Anki from a portable drive – Managing Files - Anki Manual .

You could install Anki on the local computers, but you said you can’t use a VPN or an DNS within the institution’s network?

Sounds questionable from your end

I was trying to connect with file > switch profile :sweat_smile: school computers are rather safe because everyone has his login and password so no one can access to my Anki without knowing my login and password.
