I understand that everyone in this forum is theoretically a user and that as such, nobody has any say on what goes on the platform. I never said that this wasn't the case, I just said that some of your ambassadors are awful and I do not think ambassadors understand the term and none of this matters anyway, because the policy that I'm complaining about doesn't effect the nice folks calling other users "angry whales". Doesn't explain why you need moderators and you make the distinction between users and "ambassadors" if there isn't some sort of hierarchy in the community.

Ambassadors are volunteers who are enthusiastic about spreading the word about Vivaldi. Typically they are amabassadors because of things they do in RL or online in other venues, not in the Vivaldi community. They have no more status or altitude in the forum than anyone else. Sopranos are volunteers who have been invited and screened by the Vivaldi team to be internal testers of upcoming releases. The have no more status or altitude in the forum than anyone else. Moderators are here to keep the forum a non-toxic place to interact. They have the ability to move or edit or delete any comment or topic, and to eject bad actors, usually spammers (but sometimes users who can't be bothered to observe the rules). It's not a gimme to become a Soprano, and it's necessary to pass close scrutiny to become a Moderator (I've been a user since Jan 2015, but was only invited to interview to be a mod in 2016)

🪲 Hardware keys + Passkey

Let us talk about the need of 2FA with

modern hardware keys (f.ex. Feitan or Nitrokey)
Passkey

Still not working for users.
I know about issues as i reported them.
Nothing found about hardware restrictions at https://help.vivaldi.com/services/account/two-factor-authentication/

I have no problem to use login without 2FA here, but as other freemailers work with modern 2FA hardware, why not at Vivaldi,net? Too few users using 2FA with hardware keys?

Then there's Vivaldi.com. The end user lands on the Vivaldi.com homepage and reads vivaldi's advertisment for their email client

It seems there's a confusion
At .com means the built in, not the WebMail

Or where exactly you've read it?

thats referring to the email client built into Vivaldi nothnng to do with webmail or vivaldi.net email

DoctorG

@mikeyb2001 Most users mixup Vivaldi Webmail (the mail account) with Vivaldi Mail (the mail client), and some users do not read all on Vivaldi pages.
Such can happen and lead to disappointment about the Vivaldi product.

@DoctorG i know thats why i offered clarification on the subject

@TechDocX71

I've not seen any WebMail reference at Vivaldi.com

As mentioned,
The Webmail situation is mentioned at the Welcome Mail received right after an account creation.

I don't get what you mean.

@Zalex108 about needing the reputation for the web mail address it just says compatible with it but it doesn't say anything about needing enough reputation to use it

Ayespy

@mikeyb2001 It's not meant to provide any information about Vivaldi Webmail per se. It's only to point out the Vivaldi Mail client.

web mail address

Where does it mentions WebMail?
I just see Built in eMail Client infomation.

The WebMail banner is that it is compatible with it too as well as the others.

Several participants have made a real effort here.

Im just think that this is simply spam from
@TechDocX71 .

Use Vivaldi Sync, post on forum and/or participate on Vivaldi Social (Mastodon) over a few days and you will get access to Webmail. It does not takes many weeks or months to get access to mail account.
A short period waiting for mail account should not be seen as a serious problem for new users. @DoctorGTesting (me as a Soprano) knows this.

iliym

сегодня зарегился (ради почты) не буду врать , не знал что у вас система репутаций, хотелось бы конкретики , что я должен делать чтоб быстрее ее получить , сколько должна быть репутация или это все в ручном режиме кто понравился вам тому и предоставляется доступ ?

DoctorG

@iliym [I tried to translate]

what should I do to get it faster, how much reputation should be or is it all in manual mode who liked you to the one and is given access ?

Use often Vivaldi Sync, participate often in Vivaldi Social Mastodon, let others upvote your forum posts, then wait 1-2 weeks (i hope not more).

Welcome in our Vivaldi Community

Do not hesitate to ask, we are a community to help users.

Enjoy browsing with Vivaldi.

@iliym I've spent a bit more than three weeks using sync, regularly visiting Vivaldi Social, watching and liking other users' posts there, and writing some posts on the forum. Still no webmail access granted.
I stopped further observations due to switching off sync and returning to FF.
