My computers have been unable to get new MilkyWay tasks for some time now. Each attempt gets the message:
"The project has changed its security key. Please remove and add this project."
I have been unable to find a way to do this in BOINC. Has anyone else encountered this problem? How do I fix this for my computers? Also, if I remove MilkyWay from my projects, will I loose all my ten years of credits?
I am at a loss as to what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! :)

Simply remove Milkyway and reattach to it. Choose "existing user" and enter your email and password, nothing will be lost. I mean, you have three computers on this accout, so you already know how to attach another computer to the same account, this is exactly the same procedure.
