I quote the FAQ/Manual: "BAM! can only find accounts when the email address, the username and the password of the project are the same as those of BAM!"

That would be a serious security weakness. BAM needs to be able to prompt me for each of my projects' email address, username and password. Until it can do that, it will be useless to me.

I agree - I use Lastpass to generate random password, then it stores them, so all my passwords are different. Would it work to change the password on the project to the same as for this site, then change it back? or would it then not be able to track it on changing the password back?

As the FAQ says we can make suggestions for further enhancements. This is a suggesstion. I really need BAM to me able to handle projects with different password. I never use the same password anywhere as it is a security risk. I did initially setup all my projects with the same email address and password and the found those projects on BAM, however I have since change all my passwords but keeping the same email address. I really liked BAM and found it very comprehensive as a BOINC manager, but until it can handle different password, then I cannot use it. For now it means I have to use GridReplic because it can handle projects with different passwords. Although I preferred BAM to GridReplic because GridRepublic only supports a limited set of projects.

If the dev's to read the forums I hope they will take this suggestion into consideration and pleas please build in support for different project passwords. Thanks.
