Why do I have to provide an email address as my KY&Y ID?

Soon all registered users will have to have an email address as an KY&Y ID so eventually the separate email address field will become obsolete. From now on, newly registering users must choose an email address as their KY&Y ID. For now, they must still submit their email address contact information separately. Registered users can continue to edit this email contact information, while the original email assigned as their KY&Y ID remains uneditable. It does not matter if the email in your KY&Y ID and your email address fields do not match.

Why can't I edit my KY&Y ID?

Your KY&Y ID is the unique identifier for your KY&Y profile, so as you update your password-protected information, it always remains constant. Even if you edit your email address, it won't affect the KY&Y ID you assigned to your profile.

What if I can't sign in with my current KY&Y ID?

If you haven't already created a secondary KY&Y ID, return to the area where you had trouble signing in, and follow the 'Register' link from there to create one. Your subsequent attempts to sign in with this new KY&Y ID should succeed. Your original KY&Y ID and associated profile will be retained and will remain valid around http://www.kyyconsulting.com.
