augustabelle Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hi! A former web design client of mine has asked me to resolve an issue with members not being able to reset their member areas passwords. Multiple members have complained that they are not receiving the password reset link emails. Aside from asking them to check spam folders for missed emails, is there any backend way I can help ensure that they receive the reset links, or any ideas as to what might be the issue? If anyone has navigated this issue before, I’d love to hear your advice. Thanks! ANia77 1 Link to comment

If anyone has navigated this issue before, I’d love to hear your advice. I always recommend setting up a member account that you (or your client) can use for test purposes. You can then log on to this account using a private/incognito browser window whenever you want to view the website from a member's perspective. Once you have a test member account configured, you can try the "forgot my password" link to see if you receive the reset email. Although any platform can experience intermittent failures, if you receive the email correctly then there's a good chance that other members would receive it correctly too, suggesting that any issues relates to them and their email account. For example, the email may have been marked as spam by their mail provider. On the other hand, if you don't receive the reset email either then that's more concerning! You can carry out some basic troubleshooting (checking your own spam folder and your own email settings) before potentially contacting Squarespace Customer Care. Although you don't have access to their backend systems to check if the emails were sent correctly, they do. I hope this helps. Did this help?

ANia77 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Was there an answer to this? What can we do on the backend for our client? I am having the same issues. My clients are trying to sign into their account on PeachyFit.ca Edited May 2 by ANia77 Link to comment
