 ====== Authentication ======
-Once you register; an email would be sent to you for confirmation. You must confirm the account.
+To use our software and several other utilities in this project; you need to have an account at our TAD Community chat
-The confirmed credentials are verified at the time of installing TAD and also at the time of using.
+When you had filled the registration form, an email was sent to you detailing the steps you need to take.  The very first step that email gives you is an //invitation link// to get a membership at our chat system.
-When TAD starts the very first time; it would detect that your credentials have not yet been verified. You would be asked to provide credentials to verify  that you are indeed a registered user.   Filling the registration form also gives you an **install code** which is needed for the installation.
+You would need to register into that chat system.
-Please ensure that you do a proper [[Registration]] first! Also, do not skip the verification email sent to your email address. Your email MUST be confirmed in order to use TAD.
+When TAD starts the very first time; if it would detect that your credentials have not yet been verified, you would not be able to proceed.

+**Note**\\
+The same process of verifying your credentials would happen once every few weeks (approx once a month)
-**If you are registered at our own TAD Community Chat**\\
+**If you are ALREADY registered at our own TAD Community **\\
-Provide the //email address// and  the //password// that you used for your account at the TAD Community chat.
+We were earlier using our own dedicated Mattermost based chat system for the community. But since July 26, 2020 that has changed. Now the community will live on the excellent, free, Discord system.
+If you have enrolled in our Discord community, you would need the username and the User ID at the community. We have more detailed instructions here.
+//**Following is for older users, who had previously registered**// \\
+If you were registered at our older Mattermost based TAD Chat system,  you need to provide the //email address// and  the //password// that you used for your account at the TAD Community chat. Some users tend to use the username they had chosen and that will not work
+Another possibility:  Did you change the password or you forgot it? In that case, use this link  to reset your password https://chat.tad.in.net/reset_password
+If nothing else works, email us at admin@teamtad.com and we will reset the password for you and email you. Kindly try all other options before sending us this email.
-//The following is not yet active.  Testing is going on//\\
-**If you are registered at the externally hosted Zulip system for TAD**\\
-Provide the //email address// you used at Zulip. And , MOST importantly, in the field which asks for the password, provide the API Key that for your Zulip account. Do NOT give the password you used at Zulip. The API Key is available from your account settings at Zulip.
-**Note**\\
-The same process of verifying your credentials would happen once every few weeks (approx once a month)
