Login Issues

1. Check the attendee list to see if the user is on the list.
2. Check the attendee email to make sure it exactly matches the one the user is using. A person must have first name, last name and an email address in the Content Management System (CMS) in order to gain access to the app.
3. Does the Gathering Homepage indicate the user is locked out in red text? If an attendee tries to log in five times incorrectly, they will be locked out. To unlock an attendee, log in to the Dashboard and you will see in red text on the right side of the page, “[#] attendees are locked out.” When you click on that red text, you will see the name(s) of the attendee(s) who are locked out. When you click on a locked out attendee’s name, you will be taken to their attendee profile page, and you will see red text at the top that says, “This attendee is currently locked out. This attendee has 5 or more failed login attempts.” Under that text, you will see an Unlock button. Click the Unlock button to unlock that attendee. You can send the attendee an email telling them they are unlocked and can try again.
4. Is the user using the correct app?
5. Passwords are case-sensitive -- is he or she using the correct cases?

8. Is the user connected to data or Wi-Fi?
