XDK and intel.com login

Hello Intel XDK and forum Users,

In an effort to unify Intel XDK users accounts completely with Intel Developer Zone (and intel.com),  part of our final phase of migration is starting today.   So far, we have (mostly) silently enabled new and existing XDK user accounts access intel.com and Intel Developer Zone.   Starting today, we will be providing the existingIntel Developer Zone (IDZ) users access to Intel XDK.  In doing so, you may get confused as to whether to use your old XDK login or the IDZ one.  To avoid login confusion, here are the possible scenarios, it will help you understand your particular case. You fall into one of these 4 categories – the first three require nothing extra for you to do.

1. You have an existing XDK account (but do not have IDZ account) – We have created an IDZ account with the same username as your XDK account and you can log into XDK and IDZ both using this account.
2. You are a new user and you registered for Intel XDK – Along with your XDK account creation you get access to IDZ using the same credentials
3. You have an existing IDZ account (but no XDK account) - you will be able to login into XDK using your IDZ credentials after you accept the terms and conditions on XDK login page
4. You have existing XDK account and existing IDZ account– 
   1. If you had same login username and password for XDK and IDZ account you will continue to use the same for both
   2. If your usernames for XDK and IDZ accounts are same but passwords are different – you will be prompted to merge your accounts and enter your intel.com password. After you enter “validate and Merge”, you will be able to use this credentials to log in into both XDK and IDZ.
   3. If Your XDK username and IDZ usernames were different – 
      1. Now you have two intel.com accounts, You will be able to login into IDZ using both credentials 
      2. You will be able to login into XDK using your existing XDK username as usual and also using your IDZ account credentials after you agree to terms and conditions on XDK login page
      3. When you login into XDK using your IDZ account credentials, it’s going to be a new XDK account so you will not be able to access your existing project or certificates during that login session, so it is recommended that you continue using your current XDK account credentials so you have access to your existing projects and certificates.
