To tie your existing wikis to your PBwiki Account, you can do several things.
First, you can visit a wiki directly. You'll be prompted to enter the password, which will allow you to tie the wiki to your Account.
If you're not logged into your Account, go to the box that says "You may also log in with to your PBwiki Account to proceed" and log in. This will take you to your my.pbwiki.com page. Now if you try to use the wiki, you will be prompted to enter the password, which will allow you to tie the wiki to your Account.
From here, you can also use the "Join a wiki" box at the bottom of the my.pbwiki.com page to add the wiki to your PBwiki Account. Just enter the wiki name and click "Submit." Note that if you are not logged into the wiki that you submit, you will still need to enter the password.
If you use multiple wikis, and don't want to go through the trouble of going to each wiki and repeating the processes mentioned above, you can go to my.pbwiki.com, log in, and use the "Join a wiki" box at the bottom of the page to add wikis to your Account. Just enter the wiki name and click "Submit." Note that if you are not logged into the wiki that you submit, you will still need to enter the password as described above.

Inappropriate?Note that the wiki won't be added to your "My" account unless you login to the wiki, which you can trigger by editing a page or simply clicking the "login" in the wiki.
I’m adding my two cents

Inappropriate?Hi
We have a little issue we are trying to solve in our organization - it is getting to be madness now with the login and security. We (heard from Ramit) that this will be solved with pb 2.0 ...but in the meantime...we find ourselves in crazy mode with login and password, public and private and the changes
I have to help 14 of our folks figure out the the least painful way of getting access to all wikis in our organization.
In reading the above notes I gather that I should help everyone get a my.pbwiki.com account
or should I (to make life easier for our office) send out an invite key?
what do you all think?

Inappropriate?I think having everyone sign up for an account will be the most useful in the long run. It will allow you to add, remove, or change access for everyone based on your needs - you can add new hires to the wiki easily, give them more permissions as they prove themselves, and remove other people as they leave the company. You don't have to change the invite key every time you want to do this, and if you or any of your coworkers have a question, it will expedite the support process of getting you your answers.
Also, if they use other PBwikis in the future, they'll be able to create them and have access given to them that much easier as well.

Inappropriate?Ok, sounds good.
so the steps are a little confounding....I thought I knew my way around, but I'm getting a little muddled here
step 1
everyone makes their account
step 2
the owner of the wiki invites the employee?
or does the employee try to add the wiki?
(When I tried the "add it" way, I was simply taken to the homepage of the wiki and then not sure what to do next.
which is step 2? Easiest way to add employees? -
Inappropriate?Well, if you "add" the wiki to your account, and you were already logged into the wiki, then you're good to go. To invite users, you, as the admin of the wiki, go to Settings, and then Users, and enter the email addresses your coworkers used for their accounts, and when they are logged into their own accounts, and go to your wiki, they will automatically be logged in at the level you have ascribed to them.

Inappropriate?ahhhh, that is the clever magic that makes things appear automatically in my.pbwiki - so that is more clear to me now.
now I have a plan to share with staff
thanks for your time
