I am setting up a Debian install with mender client setup. I am trying to connect it to [hosted.mender.io](http://hosted.mender.io) and it asks me for my email and pass but I signed up with github so hosted.mendeer does not have a password from me. How do i connect my client to [hosted.mender.io](http://hosted.mender.io) " Enter your credentials for hosted .mender.io Email: Password: We couldn’t find a Hosted Mender account with those credentials. " ---

Hi @Huupe-Dreams! Thanks for reaching out! The user/password method is only available if you are not using a SSO account like Google or GitHub. For those only the tenant method token is possible. Greetz, Josef ---

It doesn’t work either way. See latest forum posts, both me an another user are having trouble finding any devices just installed. I tried doing mender setup but couldn’t login to my github / email account. EnjoysMath ---

Okay, I tried making another account with email/password login directly to mender, even paid $34 for it, and the same issue. So please fix this, support. ---

Hello, I had an issue where the device was by default connecting to the US server, if you are in EU like me, you need to change the default server in /etc/mender/mender.conf ---
