Troubleshooting steps for users that can't login
If you have a user with an established account who is having issues logging in, here's our recommendation for you to help them.
- Verify the ClassReach web address. The most likely issue, other than an incorrect password, is the user is trying to login on the wrong web page. Every school has a unique web address. It is important for admins to know this address and you can find it while you're logged in to ClassReach on your browser's address bar.
- The template is - https://<your unique school name>.classreach.com
- Refer to your current browser to find the <your unique school name> part
- Don't add anything after the ".classreach.com"
- Different browsers should not make a difference, but sometimes a browser's cache can "remember" a web address or even auto-fill user name, email and passwords incorrectly. If available, trying a different browser may resolve the issue.
- Different computer or devices should not make a difference, but sometimes it's an easy way to eliminate a local problem if a user doesn't have another browser to try.
- Confirm the Username and email address that they are using to login matches what you see in their ClassReach account - People Page > find the user > Basic tab
If a user can't log in to ClassReach, there's a subtle difference between the web app (logging in to the school's ClassReach site via a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Brave, etc) and using the ClassReach Mobile App on a mobile device. Logging in using a browser works the same regardless of the user being on a computer or a mobile device. Here's more information on mobile devices - ClassReach Web App on a Mobile Device
The Password
- If the user is trying to log in to the Mobile App and it won't work, the app will say "User not found." This is the same notification for a username, email address or password. If you've confirmed the username and email address in Step 3, then the password is incorrect.
- If the user is trying to log in to the web app (from a web browser) and it won't work, they will see a red bar appear above the "Username or Email" field. This says there is an "Invalid Username and/or Password." If you have confirmed the username and email address in Step 3, then the password is incorrect.
The password can be reset several ways...
- The User can reset their own password with the link on the login page
- You, the admin, can re-send the user a Welcome email.
- You, the admin, can change their password for them.
