Login help (MFC) for a new model, plus, any newbie tips?

[NiceMusicianDude]

Hi, my beautiful and awesome girlfriend has decided to start camming, and she has created a model account at MFC. However, she is unable to log in (problem "authenticating" account), and MFC has not responded to her several inquiries via their contact form... we're pretty annoyed as she is VERY eager to get started!

Have any of you had this issue, and if so, do you know how to resolve it?

She has tried several browsers on Mac (Safari, Firefox, and Chrome)... I have also tried to log in with her model login page on my Windows laptop, and no luck.

Very frustrated, both of us... especially since she is basically ready to go!

Also, I would love it if any of you beautiful, awesome women would be willing to help her get started with great advice for a newbie.... about my girl-- she is naturally busty, a redhead, and extremely cool/friendly/down to earth... and she is so sexy... I'm so glad she's my girl.

Thank you so much!!

Here's a photo of the screenshot, if it helps!

Well now we know how long her password is... :?

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

Ok.... I realize that was stupid.... screenshot now fixed.

Have you tried logging in via http://profiles.myfreecams.com/?

is she absolutely verified? completed every step of the sign up process? Isn't by any chance in a country where it's illegal to cam form?

Are you on a VPN? (if so, turn is off when logging in)

about the tips for her, have her sign up here herself, there is a models-only section that could be extremely helpful, but the entire forum is filled with great knowledge via the search function and 'start here' topics.

with a 8-digit password there's about 2 billion different possibilities, so it's not the end of the world :]

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

Thank you.

We tried that model login page... no such luck.

She is not from a country where camming is banned...

She is not using a VPN...

She has completed every step of the verification process (photo ID, etc. etc. etc)

But no such luck...

Yes, I've been bugging her to sign up here, but she first wants to be able to get her profile edited/etc.... so I figured I'd write on her behalf.

 

[Fay_Galore]

did you guys really receive the 'now you're ready to broadcast' email? Did you maybe sign up from a different IP?

try logging in via myfreecams.com/modelweb because it seems like youre logging in via the mainpage and maybe thats the problem.

I don't mean to offend you, but there was another girl recently with these issues and she signed up for a different camsite that sounded like myfreecams, but was slighty different.

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

I contacted MFC Support, but research after that showed me that the company might ban husbands/boyfriends who contact them asking for help... because they want to keep it strictly girls-only... oops. All I'm trying to do is help...

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

Not offended.... it's definitely the right account/site.

That login page you linked to is definitely something I've never seen before.... so, I tried logging in as her, and no such luck (we are currently in different cities). Maybe it will work for her on her computer, I'm not sure.

I don't think she ever received that "ready to broadcast!" email.... I did ask her if it may have ended up in a spam folder.

I'm wondering how we can GET to that point (ok to broadcast!).... feels like we're stuck in limbo, here.... She's given them all the info they need....

The obvious solution seems to be to let your girlfriend sort this out herself, yo. I'm sure she can contact MFC by herself and once they know they're dealing with the model and not the boyfriend, I'm sure they can help :thumbleft:

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

Yes, but she has asked me to help her as she's not fully tech-savvy, like I am. It's ok, though. I am happy to TRY to help (but I'm not having any luck).

Also the search feature is your friend

Not suggesting your issue is identical to this. But its always worth checking out what has recently been reported in the forum and starting there before starting a new thread :twocents-02cents: Looks like MFC has been having a few issues so it may be nothing your lady has done wrong and just be a site blip...

Edit: No matter how helpful you might want to be in the real world it is not normal practice for partners to speak to employers on their other half's behalf. This applies to the camsites as well! Hell my electritic company refuses to speak to anyone other than the account holder for security reasons... Why would you think a cam site would be any different!?!

 

[mynameisbob84]

Not to be a dick but if she's not tech-savvy enough to send/receive emails, she might struggle with broadcasting on MFC. It might be a good idea (like others have said) for her to sign up here herself so she has access to all the help guides hidden away from the public section :twocents-02cents:

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

Fair question.

It's because she feels a bit overwhelmed when it comes to tech stuff. I am a computer geek, so she comes to me frequently with issues. She didn't want to join up here yet, until she could make her profile. But since she can't even log in to EDIT her profile, I am here on her behalf.

I realize I am in the minority here, of course... but please, don't make me feel unwelcome. I respect and love all that you girls do, and think it's a wonderful thing.

Love to all,
NMD

Fair enough. She is plenty tech-savvy to send/receive emails. What she needs to know is why can't she log in? That was my initial question. To see if any other models had any other issues.

I'm already starting to feel a bit attacked and unwelcome here. Not really a good sign, in hopes of helping her get started with camming.

Fay started to troubleshoot this with you in her responses and I linked you to another thread made today where a model reported having similar login issues. We are being helpful. And what bob said is not untrue. Being a cam model requires managing cam equipment, computer programs, responding to multiple emails a day, researching the job, filming & editing videos, searching for said videos on tube sites, generally being fairly tech savvy to protect your identity online etc etc etc etc If she can't contact MFC to troubleshoot simple login issues with them she should question if she is ready for this job :twocents-02cents:

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

Girls, I think you are all misunderstanding me here.

Let me rephrase--

She IS tech-savvy enough for all of this.

She has written them via the form, and separate emails, and at separate locations. Browser cache and cookies cleared, you name it. She's been contacting them several times, over the past week and a half. They have not yet responded. Does it usually take 7-10 days or longer? From reading other threads, models have gotten responses within 2-3 hours.

Hope that makes a bit more sense.

Thank you.

Your girlfriend needs to make an account on ACF and come talk to us about the technical issues herself. I understand that you're just trying to help, but overall you're going to be stunting her as a camgirl by holding her hand about this kind of thing. Camgirls not only have to be able to contact support by themselves, but troubleshoot any number of things (site issues, cam problems, software malfunctions, video links failing, etc.) at a moment's notice, and take care of them quickly and efficiently... on our own. The job isn't just looking sexy (it's a common misconception, along with it being 'easy money'), it's also running your own version of Tier 3 tech support at times, and she needs to be able to handle that. Add on protecting your identity, dealing with potential scammers, navigating Twitter/email/tumblr/forums, shooting/editing videos, etc. and you're looking at a job that's 20 hours/wk worth of being sexy on-cam and 30-50 hours/wk of off-cam work dealing with technical things.

Letting her come articulate the issue to us *personally* and using our help to figure it out *by herself* is going to help her more in the long run than coddling her, seriously. This isn't an easy profession in the slightest, and can be made even worse by a backseat driver SO, so let go of the reins and let her take charge of figuring out these issues.

All of what Gracie and Bob said.
Plus, I'm going to be a bitch and say if she's already feeling unwelcomed here, without even having an account, after a few VERY helpful and polite replies, I think she may be too sensitive for Camming.
Trolls are going to make her feel unwelcomed every few minutes in her room and I can assure you, they won't even be a tenth of as nice as the members who have replied have been.

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

PlayboyMegan, it is me who is feeling unwelcome. She's got a much thicker skin than I do.

Thank you all for your great advice. I will have her join up here and hopefully you girls can help her further.

Thanks again.

My apologies. I'm a skim reader and since we were on the topic of her, I mis-read your post to read that she was also feeling unwelcomed.
Anyways, good luck getting the problem fixed.

Seems like no other models have ever had issues logging in once their MFC model account has been verified. This seems to be a human error, or something to continue to take up with MFC model support. Do you remember your password? Also, yes, MFC requires all of this information sent and received to be through them and the model, not her boyfriend, or even her husband. There's pretty much no reason for you to be doing these things on her behalf. Think of it this way; if your girlfriend got a job at Walmart, would you go there and fill out her application? Would you be the one to talk to her superiors? Would you be doing her work for her? No. And camming is no different. SHE needs to fill out her own forms, read her own model release, and figure out how to broadcast on her own. There's really no reason for you to be helping her in any way.

Personally, even in my closest relationships that spanned over multiple years in length, I wouldn't have wanted ANY of my boyfriends to know my MFC password OR more importantly, have access to my SSN. Sounds like you need to give her some space to do this on her own. Being a camgirl is all about independence. No matter what you say to rebuttal this post, you are proving by posting on her behalf that you are not allowing her to be independent on this decision/endeavor for herself.

It's clear to me that none of you models want the boys to help out in any way. Noted. I'll be on my way, now.

I don't think we are asking you for help, dude. You asked US for help and I am simply telling you how MFC runs their site. Their rules, not mine. I am simply telling you that this job is hers and not yours. You shouldn't be involved, especially to this degree.

All of what Tilly said! Also, if I were MFC Support and I read emails from a male about a female's account, numerous red flags would run through my mind. I'm not saying that you have any ill intent at all, but seeing as MFC is a strictly-female model cam site, I can't see them responding to you for fear that you're really a male trying to gain access to broadcasting as a model. Secondly and along the same lines, as a male inquiring about a female's account, who's to say that you aren't an obsessed member trying to gain access to a model's info? Again, I'm not saying that you have any ill intent, but hell, we don't know you, we don't know her, and needless to say MFC doesn't know you either. I would think that any male who isn't contacting MFC support as a member, but rather inquiring about a model's account status would be automatically written off as a trouble-maker and not contact you back. :twocents-02cents:

I understand that. I was asking for help for her. Then, it was made clear that the boys are to NEVER be involved in any way.

Noted, dear. Noted.
