Troubleshooting login issues

Many users encounter difficulties logging into their ActiveCampaign accounts at some point. This article aims to walk you through the common issues you may face, alongside effective troubleshooting steps to resolve them. Understanding these problems and their solutions can save you time and help maintain your workflow.

Introduction

Logging into your ActiveCampaign account is a critical part of managing your marketing efforts. When errors occur during this process, they can hinder your ability to connect with contacts and manage campaigns effectively. In this guide, we will discuss various scenarios that can prevent successful logins and provide you with the necessary steps to troubleshoot these issues.

How to access this feature

To begin troubleshooting login issues, navigate to your ActiveCampaign account login page. The URL will generally look something like this: `myaccount.activehosted.com`. From here, you can follow the outlined steps to address different impersonations that may prevent access.

Step-by-step instructions

Resetting your forgotten password

If you cannot remember your password, follow these steps to reset it:

1. Go to your ActiveCampaign account login page.
2. Click the Forgot? link next to the password field.
3. Enter your login email address and click Submit.
4. Wait for a confirmation message and check your email inbox for an email titled "ActiveCampaign password reset instructions". Don’t forget to check your spam folder as well.
5. Click the Update Password Now button found in the email. This redirects you back to the Account Login page.
6. Enter your new password and click the Submit button.

Unable to verify email address

Before logging in, your email address might need verification. If you are having trouble receiving email verification codes:

• Make sure to check that your inbox allows emails from ActiveCampaign.
• If issues persist, reach out to the Customer Experience Team for assistance.

Logging in with a forgotten username

If you have forgotten your username, you can retrieve it through the following methods:

• As the primary admin, your username is simply "admin".
• If you are any other user, your primary administrator can find your username by navigating to Settings > Users and Groups.

Keep in mind, the ActiveCampaign Customer Experience team cannot provide usernames; this information must come from your account’s primary admin.

Account is under maintenance

Occasionally, you may see a spinning animation during login attempts. This indicates that your account is under maintenance, which generally lasts less than an hour. If you’re still unable to log in after two hours, please reach out to our Customer Experience Team for further assistance.

Configuration options and settings

When troubleshooting login issues, understanding how the following settings can affect your access is essential:

• Password Reset Process is the primary method for regaining access if you've forgotten your password.
• Email Verification is needed to confirm your identity before being permitted to log in.
• User Management under Settings allows the primary admin to manage user accounts—including retrieval of forgotten usernames.

Best practices and tips

• Regularly update your password to enhance security.
• Ensure your email address is correctly registered and can receive emails from ActiveCampaign.
• Create a secure method for storing your usernames and passwords, such as a password manager.
• If you expect heavy traffic or maintenance notifications, try logging in during off-peak hours.

Common use cases with examples

• **Scenario 1**: A user forgets their password and follows the reset process successfully, regaining access within minutes.
• **Scenario 2**: A team member cannot log in because their primary admin has not verified their email. A quick email check solves the issue.
• **Scenario 3**: An admin encounters a spinning animation due to maintenance work, resulting in a need to wait for completion or contact support.
