Troubleshooting

Is it ok to continue without a password and use a passwordless account? 

No, your Craigslist account needs to have a password in order for PostEngine to work correctly. Also, if you don't set a password, Craigslist will ask you to complete login verification every time you try to access your account!  

I've changed my password but PostEngine keeps using my old one which is causing  Craigslist login verification every time I post! 

If you've changed the password to your Craigslist account but PostEngine keeps trying to use the old one, please email help@rooof.com so that we can update your credentials in our system.
