TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR ACCESS ISSUES

  • 🔴 Check for typos and ensure Caps Lock is off while entering the passcode.
    🔴 If copy-pasting, try typing the passcode manually to avoid hidden spaces or formatting issues.
    🔴 Make sure no extra spaces are before or after the passcode when entering it.
    🔴 Try entering the passcode in different formats, if applicable (e.g., 6543199439 vs. 6543-1994-39).
    🔴 If using a password manager, check if it’s auto-filling incorrect credentials.
    🔴 Try a different keyboard or switch your keyboard language settings if necessary.

  • 🔦 Open a private (incognito) browser window and try accessing the page again.
    🔦 Try another device (mobile, tablet, or a different computer).
    🔦 Make sure your browser is up to date (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.).
    🔦 Clear your browser cache, cookies, and history, then restart your browser.
    🔦 Disable any browser extensions (ad blockers, security tools, pop-up blockers) that could interfere with access.
    🔦 Try a different browser to see if the issue is browser-specific.
    🔦 If using a work or school computer, check if IT restrictions are blocking access.

  • 📡 Disable VPNs or proxy servers, as they can interfere with authentication.
    📡 Restart your Wi-Fi router or switch to another network connection (e.g., mobile data instead of Wi-Fi).
    📡 If using a corporate or school network, restrictions may apply. Try a different internet connection.
    📡 Disable firewalls or antivirus software temporarily to check if they are blocking access.
    📡 Check your DNS settings (switch to Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for testing).

  • 💻 Restart your device to refresh the system.
    💻 Make sure your operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) is updated.
    💻 Check for background processes that may slow down or disrupt browser performance.
    💻 If using a mobile device, clear the app/browser cache and try again.

  • TRY FLUSHING YOUR DNS CACHE:

    • WINDOWS: Open Command Prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns, then press Enter.

    • MAC: Open Terminal and type sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder, then press Enter.
      TRY USING A DIFFERENT USER ACCOUNT on the same device to see if the issue is account-specific.
      RUN A SPEED TEST to ensure your internet connection is stable.
