You could be experiencing difficulty logging into your account due to several reasons:

1) Browser history

Try clearing the cookies and cache from your browser if using a desktop or mobile web browser.

Each time you access a file through your web browser, the browser caches (stores) it. This way, the files (including any images on the page) do not have to be retrieved from the website each time you click the Back or Forward buttons. You should periodically clear the cache to allow your browser to function more efficiently.

For instructions on clearing cookies and cache on your browser, please read How do I clear my cookies/cache?

Additionally, ensure you are using the latest version of your web browser.

2) Update or reinstall the app

If using the iOS or Android app, updates may be required. Try updating, or uninstalling and reinstalling the app

3) To log into the website, you will need your username and password.

If you attempt to login using incorrect credentials (such as the wrong username or an email address in place of a username), the system will return an error message: Your login information is incorrect and you won’t be able to login.
