the SteamDeck looks great. Valve has done a lot to work with Linux and<br>
Free Software even putting out info on how to modify the SteamDeck if you<br>
can get one.<br>
<br>
The first step to get a SteamDeck is to setup an account in order to order one.<br>
<br>
But, the signon hasn't been working for me.<br>
<br>
I keep getting "The password you entered is not allowed. Please select a<br>
different password, with at least 8 characters."<br>
<br>
Y'all know I would not default to something less than dozens of<br>
characters, so a short password is not the problem.<br>
<br>
I've tried with reduced special characters, without special characters,<br>
with only 8 characters and many, many other things.<br>
<br>
All the support options for valve presume you have an account, so not way<br>
of contacting them. If this is what their customer support is like then<br>
they really suck even if they are supporting Free Software.<br>
<br>
I allowed all the JavaScript, cookies and crap and it still doesn't work.<br>
I created a container and installed chromium and it still doesn't work.<br>
<br>
I'm tired of working for free for Valve, but I'd really like to get a<br>
steamdeck for kidling.<br>
<br>
Has anyone craeted a new account recently and knows the secret to getting<br>
their site to work or getting them to actually respond?<br>
<br>
ciao,<br>
