Ring App Won't Let Me Register My Address
Well, it was a nice gesture. Received the Ring doorbell as a gift. Two hours into it so far and I'm not able to get the app to work.
The problem started when I attempted to register for the first time, only to be told my email address was already in use. Impossible, I thought. Looked into the existing account and someone had registered with my email. How?? Don't they need to receive a verification email from Ring? So I requested a password change and, sure enough, I received an email and quickly changed the password and also confirmed two step verification. So that seemed to be taken care of.
Next, I attempted to add my address to my account, but the app won't allow it. I called Ring support and was told to use a different email because MY email is registered to someone else in another state. WTF?? I suggested they wipe the existing account and let me start fresh, but I was told the that cannot be done since the other account holder registered first.
Ring is being returned. How can a company selling security be so insecure with customer accounts??

- CThanks for the reply. Yeah, I thought it was highly suspicious that someone else was able to use my email. The first thing I wondered was how they got around the confirmation email? My email doesn't appear to be hacked as I'm not seeing any suspicious activity or oddities of any kind. That said, between this and the inability to set my location with the app, I'm returning the doorbell. Seems like it isn't worth the risk.•

SHi I have talk to representatives from ring three times now and they haven't gotten anywhere with this I haven't even emailed them screenshots of the best I could have private purchase from a third-party and all they're telling me now is wait another three days to hear from them yet I never did in the beginning. I have done everything I can yet they say I can only get 30% off of one of their expensive cameras in which I can't because I'm on disability and I can't afford something like that that's why I purchased it third party.•0
