Hi,
I hope you are aware that this is a public mailing list and everything
you post on here is publicly accessible by everyone on the internet,
including search engines. I would think twice before posting any
personal information.
That being said, Tox doesn't have usernames and passwords in the usual
central authentication sense. Although the exact details depend on the
client you use, what usually happens is that Tox generates your profile
locally on your computer and stores it as a file, optionally
password-protecting it. Think GPG secret keyring, if you are familiar
with GPG. If you lose the profile file or forget the password, there is
no way to restore your profile. The profile file location depends on the
client you use, so if you want to know where it is stored you'd need to
tell us what client you use first. It's generally stored in the standard
places, like somewhere within %APPDATA% on Windows and ~/.config on
Linux, but again, it depends on a client, it could as well just store it
in the working directory.
Now excuse me while I'm trying to delete the personal information you
have posted from the mailing list's web archive and hopefully don't
break the mailing list in any way.
I would appreciate if anyone replying to this thread would remove the
citation of previous emails as not to re-introduce the personal
information back.
