Authenticating TAD via Discord
All TAD users are now requested to enroll in a "Discord" community. Discord is this huge communities system -- where many different communities are housed. Discord now has a "teamTAD" community, and that is where you need to become a member.
This video explains how to use your Discord "teamTAD" community membership to authenticate yourself when you start using TAD. We never ask for an email address or a password you have set at Discord. Instead, here is a clever OTP system which would send out a specially crafted one time use code (OTP) to you, which you need to return back and give to TAD. That will authenticate you.
Authentication is requested approximately once in 30 days.
The earlier "Mattermost" based authentication is also available for those TAD users who had enrolled in our Mattermost based teamTAD community. Unfortunately, the server can't take the load now; and hence we moved to a much more robust system.
BTW, the Discord community is open to all, even for non-TAD users. Here is the invitation link that you can use and share with everyone: / discord You can also request them to actually start using TAD by filling in the registration form at https://www.teamtad.com/regform.html
