What to Do If the Reset Isn't Working

  • Can't complete the MFA step: For example, you no longer have access to your authenticator app or phone number. Let us know in this chat and a member of our team will reset your MFA so you can then set a new password.

  • The reset link or page isn't loading: Try opening your sign-in link in an incognito or private browser window and clearing your browser cache. If it still doesn't work, let us know in this chat.

  • You've reset your password but the system isn't accepting it: Wait a few minutes and try again. If the problem continues, let us know in this chat.- Can't find the 'Forgot password?' link: If the link is not visible, navigate back to the email and password entry screen, then switch from the authenticator prompt to the password sign-in option. The 'Forgot password?' link should then appear.
