Can't login, can't reset password
Please help! I've reset my password several times, and each time it tells me it's incorrect. I can't get in! Oddly, it let me sign in here, but it won't allow me to at lds.org. I've tried their suggestion of clearing all the browser history several times, but it still won't let me in regardless of how many times I try to reset my password. Any suggestions? My username is correct.

You might try waiting a half hour or longer after the change.

I am resetting my daughter's password and when I get to the point of entering the new password and confirming the new password, I click the submit button and it does nothing.

Re: Can't login, can't reset password
Has anyone had success in resolving this issue? I was able to use my user name and password to log in here, so I know it's correct, but I can't log into the actual site and I can't sync my lds tools because it keeps telling me my user name or password are incorrect. I deleted my browser history as suggested, but still can't log in. Does anyone have a solution that worked?

Re: Can't login, can't reset password
LDS Tools and some sites require that you have a MRN associated with your account. Go to ldsaccount.lds.org and make sure there's a MRN attached.wengun wrote:I can't sync my lds tools because it keeps telling me my user name or password are incorrect.

Re: Can't login, can't reset password
This won't be helpful. But I have tried to reset my password three times over the last 8 years, and it has been a nightmare every time. I never get the email sent when I select "need help logging in" and never get the code to my cell phone when it says it's going to. I wish somebody who wrote the code for the forgot password feature would QA their code --- multiple devices and browsers. I feel bad getting frustrated with this feature, but if I had this experience just once, anywhere, I wouldn't get frustrated. I've had the experience roughly three times, and all three times have been with lds.org.
There is definitely an issue.

Re: Can't login, can't reset password
We just released a new way to recover your account. If you'd be willing to try it, navigate to https://account.churchofjesuschrist.org/recovery and select the third option: "Church Membership Information". It will then prompt you for your MRN and Birthdate. After entering that, it'll look up your account and display an obfuscated phone number and/or email address that is listed on your account. It will also let you know if either of those need to be verified first and will give you that option as well. You should then be able to select one of those and continue Account Recovery.johnmecham wrote:This won't be helpful.

Note: This option will not work for those in leadership positions with access to sensitive information or church employees.

Re: Can't login, can't reset password
Those in leadership positions need to have a password that is at least 12 characters long. The help phone number for people in leadership positions is (855) 537-4357.

Re: Can't login, can't reset password
I've tried to help a member in my ward retrieve his account at https://account.churchofjesuschrist.org/recovery using his MRN, the email address listed for him in Tools, and his mobile phone number (also listed in Tools). Each option gives a message that reads, "An account matching the information you entered was not found. Please double-check to ensure your data was entered correctly." Any recommendation for next steps?
