Hi @tommy710

Welcome to the iD Community!
We hope we can get this sorted for you.

We've moved your post to the 'App and My Account' section of the Community.

Have you tried selecting 'Forgotten Username' rather than 'Forgotten Password' at all?
Or logging in via the iD website to check everything is correct with your online account, rather than using the app?

My account is fine here when im logged in via the computer,i use the same username and password on the ap to log in and it says user name doesnt exist,but it clearly does as im here talking to you lol,im lost with it.

Hi @tommy710,

Sorry to hear you're having issues with logging in/accessing your account.

iD Forum accounts work separately to MyiD Accounts.

You'd need to register for both of these separately.

Have you ever registered for an iD account on https://my.idmobile.co.uk/ or the app before?

The username would usually be your email address you registered with and the password would be whatever this was setup as.

If you're still having issues with logging in, let us know and we'll help set this up for you.

Hello @tommy710,

If you'd still like help on getting into your account, drop me a PM and I will advise further.

Sorry to hear you're thinking of leaving us due to this.

If there's anything else I can do further, please let me know.

I believe tommy710 has managed to log in to the Community Forum as he is posting here. He can also log in to the iD.mobile on line account. The problem he is experiencing, as I experienced, is with the iD mobile app.

I tried for almost two days to log in to the app and was on the point of heading to a Carphone Warehouse shop when I logged in. It was always an error stating the email address and the password did not match. I have been locked out of the account numerous times over the past two days for numerous failed attempts to log in but curiously I am allowed to log in again using that same password. Is that secure?

We should have a show and hide on the password field in the app so we are not driven mad by having what we believe is a correct password rejected, time after time.

Definitely taking the feedback on board there @Figgis and will feed this back.

Have you tried resetting the password at all?

After two days of trying I finally gained access to the iD app, just as I was about to head to a Carphone Warehouse shop. I quickly changed the login to a 6 digit pin.

But I also experienced problems in my account where I logged in with the correct password and my session timed out and the correct saved password did not match. ID is messing with my sanity.

You did not answer this.

When I have been locked out of an email account because of several failed attempts to log in. I always received an email to reset the password. This did not happen on iD mobile. Shouldn't the password be changed after so many failed attempts to log in.

Hey @Figgis,

The account would be locked to prevent spambots from trying multiple logins and also multiple failed login attempts.

You can manually reset the password if you don't know this. This can also be done if you do know the password as you'd require access to the iD Mobile number where the reset code is sent.
