Issues with resetting your password
Some members have reported finding themselves in a loop when trying to reset passwords, getting the following error message:
The potential causes
1. The link in the password reset email expires after it has been used once.
You can’t use the same link again to try and reset your password. If you need to reset your password at any point click the ‘Forgot password’ link on the login screen to request a new password reset email.
2. This website uses cookies for user authentication and session management. It also enables caching to make the website load faster.
