I can't log in — what should I check?
Five things, in the order they are usually the cause.
Last updated July 31, 2026Work down this list. It is ordered by how often each one turns out to be the answer.
- Are you on the right login page? Job seekers and employers sign in separately. An employer account will not open from the job seeker page, and the error you get does not say so
- Did you originally sign up with Google? If so there is no password to type — use the Google button
- Is a privacy extension blocking the security check? The form has a check that has to load. If it never appears, allow it for this site or try a private window
- Does your password need resetting? Use the reset link and follow the email
- Does it say your account is deactivated? That is a specific message and a different problem — contact us and we will sort it
