🔴 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. -

🔦 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.

📡 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.

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.
