Open Livecode Login

Wed Apr 10 17:27:48 EDT 2013

Hi Richmond,

I'm also having the same log in problem you described. It works fine on my desktop, but I can't open livecode on my Mac laptop. I even changed my password several times and verified my email address they have on file. I hope we find out what's wrong soon.
