I didn’t get a text, email, or phone call with my verification code
It can take a couple of minutes for your code to arrive. Here are a few things you can do:
Check your junk mail or spam folder to see if the email went there.
Check all email addresses you might've used to sign up for your account.
Request a new verification code by selecting I didn’t get a text, I didn’t get an email, or I didn’t get a phone call on the sign-in page.
If you lost your phone, check your text messages online at your cell carrier’s website.
My verification code isn't working
If you entered the exact code that was sent to you and it didn’t work, it’s most likely because you’ve received multiple codes. Be sure to enter the most recent code you received.
Try these other tips:
Delete any previous codes we sent to make sure you use the most recent code.
Keep your web browser window open after you enter your code. The code is invalidated once you close the window.
Check your email in a new tab or window so you can keep the verification code window open.
If your code doesn’t work, request another code by selecting I didn’t get an email or I didn’t get a text message.
I reset my password and now I can’t sign in
Try these steps:
Clear any password managers or system settings with stored passwords for our site.
Close and reopen your browser before you sign back in to your account.
If you’re using the app, close and reopen it.
