Send Orb link to cell phone
- enter your 10-digit US cell phone number and click this
link to send an SMS to your phone with the mycast.orb.com URL,
so you do not have to manually enter it on the keyboard of your
mobile device. When you receive it, just bookmark that link on
your phone for future use.
Password
To change your password, click on the link
Click here to change your password : a box will pop up and prompt you to enter your old
password and the new password you wish to use.
Note:
your Orb password is stored in Orb Network’s user database and
on your Orb PC. So if you change your password on mycast.orb.com
at a time when your Orb PC is not connected to Orb servers,
Orb will update its own user database but will not be able to
change this password on your PC. Therefore, the next time you
start Orb on your PC, you will see an “Invalid Login or
Password” pop-up message in your Orb tray icon: click this
tray icon balloon to open the password update dialog box and
enter your new password.
Emails
This is where you can add email
addresses and select your default email address. If you never
verified your email address upon receiving Orb Network’s
request for email verification right after you created your
account, or if you never received that request (because of your
spam filter, etc.), you can do it here.
Why verify
your email address? Orb needs it to reset your password,
if you ever forget it.
If you forget your password and
request a new password via the
“
Forgot password?”
link on the
login page, Orb Networks will send this temporary password to
the
verified email address associated with that
Orb login. If you never verified your email address, you will
prompted to re-enter that email address (i.e., the one you used
when you first created your Orb account): if you enter the
correct email address, Orb verifies it and sends your temporary
password to that email address; if you do not enter the correct
email address, the process aborts and you will not be able to
use that same Orb account again.
This is the only
mechanism to get a new password. Orb cannot
retrieve a lost password.
Note:
if you entered an email address which does not exists when you
created your Orb account and you forget your password, you will
have to create another Orb account.
Other Accounts
This simply lists your linked
accounts, that is, accounts that are registered under the
same verified email address. If you have two linked Orb accounts
and both are registered under the same email address, then you
will be able to access shared media sent to that email address
when you log in to any of these two Orb accounts.
