I'm moving soon. Will disconnecting and moving my computer interrupt my DU membership when I reconnect

[CTyankee]

at my new home?

My computer guy will be doing this. What does he need to know so when I reconnect I will be "recognized" at DU as CTyankee?

1. Obviously it wont.

Just log back in from your web browser with your username and password.
You can log into DU from any computer anywhere as long as you have your username and password.

2. I "think" I know my password. How can I check it?

9. This is what I did -- on my computer, using an Edge browser, I right-clicked on a DU link

and chose "Open link in InPrivate window".

Chrome has "Open in Incognito window"

Up showed the DU page with me not signed in. There is a "Sign In" tab on the top far right. I signed in with my user name and password,

Then I closed the window.

This did not interfere with or screw up what I was doing before in DU.

3. No, it can't, unless the cache is cleared so you're logged out. And then all you have to do is log in again.

And having to log in again does NOT mean your DU membership was interrupted.

Just keep track of your password. Although DU probably has a system to set up a new password using the email address you registered with.

4. The simple answer is no, it won't interrupt your membership.

I am just finishing a move and, bought a new laptop. I'm definitely not computer literate, but was easily able to set my new puter up, and viola, I'm here.
Others here hopefully will have a better answer than mine, as I only know how to turn this box on.

5. No. I moved from the US and everything works fine.

6. I did an interstate move last year and nothing changed.

7. Unplugging and relocating your computer should not create any disruptions.

The reason I say that is - I moved recently, and that was my experience.

The only thing that you will need to do is match your computer to a new internet provider (cable or VZ, for example). When you do that you will need the password for your cable or internet service - easy. Whoever connects your cable will show you where to find the password - usually on the back of the router.

If and when you get a new computer, you will need to sign back in to DU. At that time you will need your password. But, if you can't find your password, I believe you can have DU send you an email to reset your password.

Do you have Smart phone? If you want to make sure you can still interact w/ DU, while in the chaos of a move - you can sign into DU from your Smart phone also. If you find your password, go ahead and try it - if it works...you know you found the right password. Then DU will recognize that device, as well. With usernames and passwords, it's all about recognizing the device.

If anything I explained doesn't make sense, feel free to DM me. I am glad to provide more detail in the answers. Mr. Dahlia and I relatively user friendly with this stuff. We have to be - we're old...and we don't have kids or grandkids.

Good luck with the move!

8. No smart phone. And I don't use my cell phone anyway.

we have a landline my kids call me on and we can transfer our existing phone number. Or they email me.

I know, I'm hopeless.

10. Not hopeless.

You're less tethered to technology, and that has its advantages, as well.
