Login Help

Having trouble logging in? Don’t worry—here’s how to reset your password.

If you’re unable to sign in to your account, the most common reason is an incorrect or forgotten password.

If you're a visual learner, or just looking to save time, check out the attached screenshots. They follow the sequence of the help script below:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to the Sign In Page
    Navigate to our regular login screen.

  2. Click “Forgot password?”
    This link is located directly below the password field.

  3. Enter Your Email Address
    You’ll be taken to our “Login Help” page. Enter the email address associated with your account.

    💡 Important: The system will only send the password to the email address we have on file. If your old email no longer works or you no longer have access to it, you’ll need to contact us for help. 

  4. Click the Gray “Send Password” Button
    Once you click this, the system will generate a new, strong password made up of random letters and numbers.

  5. Check Your Email
    Look for an email from us with your new password. If you don’t see it, check your spam or junk folder.

  6. Copy and Paste the New Password
    Our system generates case-sensitive passwords that are hard to type by hand. To avoid mistakes:

    • Highlight the password in the email.

    • Right-click and select Copy.

    • Go back to the login page and Paste the password into the password field.

⚠️ Tip: Many users—especially those who write the password down on paper—end up making small errors when retyping. Copying and pasting is the safest method.

  1. Login Successfully
    Once logged in, we recommend going to your Account Settings to change the random password to something easier for you to remember.
