Is anyone else having issues logging into the plusnet members area?
I've has the same password for years so I know it's right and I"m connected using it too.
Reset it 3 times and no luck. PN if you're reading this please sort.

and to answer your question I came in via the portal login page, where you click "my account" / "broadband" in the nav. Is there another way?

Hi @ukguy1,
Please accept my apologies for the issue in logging into your account.
I have made a change to your account, could you ensure the username and password are not been auto-filled and clear the cookies and cache on the web browser. Alternatively, please try logging in on a different device. If you use a password manager, update the password with your latest one from the password reset.
Thank you.

Hi there,
Even if autofilled by icloud, I would check what was filled.
It's definitely my username as has been for 15 years.
The password is definitely entered as the reset password (and the original was entered as per the previous many years)
Icloud definitely stores the correct password and I've manually entered it, not just copy/paste
Doesn't work on my iphone either.
I doubt it's my device after so many years?
Also I know it's obvious and you have to say it but if I reset the password, I'm going to enter the new one.
Thanks

While I appreciate you might do this, it's always worth us asking as you may be surprised how many people query similar things only to find it's the simple answer that has been over looked (Not necessarily specific to login issues)
Thanks for confirming you've also tried other devices and entering the username/password manually as opposed to clicking through auto-fill settings.
I've tried to call you to discuss going through a password reset from our side and to see if I'd be able to replicate the issue from our side following this, however I was unfortunately unable to get through.
Is there any time tomorrow when you'd be free for a call to go over this?
Thanks.

Noone has tried to call from Plusnet, unless you use a withheld or no ID number. Of course, we just ignore these.
I'm very busy at the moment, so don't really have alot of time.
It's simply just an issue of not being able to log in after many years of using the same details, nothing more than that, nothing we need to have a conversation about.
I reset the password, got the confirmation, but it doesn't work, which is probably the same reason why the original stopped working.
The issue is your end. Fix it please.
I deal with similar issues all the time through my work.

Hello @ukguy1
Our number will be withheld when we contact you, as it will be one of our support team attempting to get in touch with yourself.
Should you answer the call, we will inform you who we are and the reason for contact, once you are happy and free to discuss the matter we will validate the call by going through DPA.
Can you please confirm if you have attempted to clear the cookies and caches on your device?
In addition to this, I can see you are using iCloud and an iPhone device in order to login. I believe you may be using Safari as your web browser?
Have you attempted to access your members portal by using an alternative web browser?
Hopefully, this may resolve the issue. We are happy to get in touch with yourself to discuss the password reset if you can provide us with a couple of dates/times you are free for a callback.
Kind regards.

Yes cleared plusnet cookies
Yes cleared cache (by the way this has nothing to do with passwords in web dev)
Yes tried in safari and chrome
Yes tried on Mac and iPhone etc
Yes tried from 4g too
Have also entered manually so it’s not iCloud
Let’s beat in mind I’m a web dev and server admin of multiple servers myself and have been logging in successfully for 15 years.
This is 100% an account issue. Nothing I do this end will resolve this even if we talk for 3 hrs.
Cheers

Hi @ukguy1
Thank you for confirming that information.
The next action for us to take is to raise this to our Network operations. However, we will need your authorisation to go ahead with this. As you are unable to access the webisode and respond to support tickets we would require this over the phone. Can you please confirm the best time to give you a call today.
Kind Regards

Unless things have changed recently there is no mechanism in place for the end user to verify that it IS Plusnet calling. The DPA validation is one sided in that it only addresses Plusnet validating that they are talking to the authorised user. Oft discussed in other forum threads.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.
