WHAT TO CHECK TIP
Account Name Your Account Name is one word. There should be no spaces.
Email Address Your email address should be your personal company email address.

Forgot your password? Click the 'I forgot' link next to the password field to go through the steps of resetting your password.
Are you resetting your password? In the reset password process, provide the new temporary password first. Then type in your new password twice.
Security question and answer In the password reset process, you are  asked to answer the original security question and answer provided when the your login was initially set up.
Locked out?

For security, WordFly locks your user account:
• If you have not logged in within the past 180 days
• After three failed login attempts.

Once your user account is locked, you can:

Reach out to someone on your team with 'Manage Users' permissions to unlock your account.

If no one on your team is available to help, email us for assistance.
