New player - 'account and password incorrect'

[Mashugana]

When I enter my account name and password the CoH login page says they are incorrect.  Yet I use that same account data to log in here so it must work.  Any ideas?

 

Thank you :)

No, no. Please head over to getting started, and go through the ingame account creation.

That's an incorrect assumption.

Your forum account and game account are separate.

You need to create a game account here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/account/
