I. Credentials Do Not Match Our Records

When the error message These credentials do not match our records comes up, the most likely cause is that the password tried at login does not match the one last set for the account, and needs to be updated.

After seeing this error message, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. If your login address is linked to a Google, LinkedIn, or Microsoft/Outlook account, use this to log in

    1. To learn how to do so, please see Related Articles

    2. If the login address ends in @gmail.com or @outlook.com, or if you use Gmail or Outlook to receive and send mail, this option is available to you

    3. If this option is not available to you, please continue to step 2

  2. Log in without a password

    1. To learn how to do so, please see Related Articles

  3. Try a different region selection at the top of the login page

    1. To successfully log in, it's necessary to click the region used by the organization for data storage. This is set by the organization owner on creation of the organization. It may not match the physical location login is tried from.

Once logged in via one of the options above, update the password for a better experience during the next login. To learn how to do so, please see Related Articles.

II. Cannot Find an Account with this Email Address

When the error message Cannot find an account with this email address comes up, there are two likely causes.

Either the address tried for login is not the login address (even if it is set as the contact address or secondary notification address), or an incorrect region is selected at the top of the page.

Admins cannot update the login address of other users; admins can only update the contact address(es) and secondary notification address(es) of others.

This means that any email address updates for someone else by an admin cannot be used for login.

To log in, it's necessary to click the region used by the organization for data storage. This is set by the organization owner on creation of the organization. It may not match the physical location login is tried from.

After seeing this error message, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Has there been a recent change of email address? Update the login address to match the newest one

    1. To learn how to do so, please see Related Articles

    2. If there has not been a recent change of email address, please continue to step 2

  2. Try a different region selection at the top of the login page

III. Automatically Logged Out

Logging in to one account on the web app from multiple devices at the same time is not supported.

When this is tried, it causes one of the two login sessions to end, and log out.

To access the platform from multiple devices at once, use different versions of the platform. For example, use one device to log in on the web, and another to log in on the mobile or desktop app.

IV. 422 & Text String

When either of the experiences below happen following submission of login credentials, this means login was tried at the wrong URL: api.boardable.com/login (with an i after 'ap') instead of app.boardable.com. To fix this, go to app.boardable.com/login instead.

  • The error message The server returned a "422 Unprocessable Content"

  • A long string of characters on an otherwise blank screen
