    I have both aMember and Expression Engine up and running. I have the ee plugin installed. I even see that members created in aMember are now being added to (and deleted from, when I choose to delete a member inside aMember) the Members group inside ee, which is great.

    The only problem--I'm unable to log into the ee control panel with the members created in aMember. Every time I try, I get the message, "The password you submitted was not correct." If I create a member from within ee alone, I can log in just fine; not so with one from aMember. Any ideas? I'm using SHA1 encoding for both aMember and ee, as required.

    I'm having the same issue. I read on the EE forums that logging into amemeber would automatically log the user into EE. If that was working, I'd have no issues. Anyone have a solution?

    Bumping this. Having the same problem here with a brand new install of aMember 3.1.3 and EE 1.6.4.

    Having created a new user via aMember, I can see that user in the EE member list. But can't login to EE. Getting the password error Toad listed above.

    Logging in via aMember takes me to the aMember profile page but if I go to a regular EE template, it shows me as a member "Guest" and not logged in.

    Anyone have this working with EE?!? The documentation is painfully slim!

    Here's what finally worked for me: Change the Setup/Config -> EE -> Encryption Type = MD5

    Even though my EE install is set to use SHA-1 encryption, setting the aMember EE plugin Encryption Type to MD5 now allows a user to login to both EE and aMember.

    I just found my old question, and I can't remember how I fixed it!

    Some things that have helped with similar problems I've encountered, though:

    - update your dB in aMember (otherwise, EE may not know the member exists)
    - assign an EE member group to your product within aMember (otherwise, that user has no recognized membership privileges in EE)
