Change account password?

When I try to change my password an error message is given me.

The message is: Response Code 403

What does this mean?

Re: Change account password?

Hi @BEST123, thanks for getting in touch.

 

I am sorry to hear you're having issues changing your account password. Can you confirm if this error message occurs on different browsers when trying to amend the password?

Re: Change account password?

I had used Safari but this time used Chrome which gave the same error message, that is  " Response code 403".

The web page was https://www.plus.net/my.html?action=change_password&s=0

I hope this is of help.

Michael

Re: Change account password?

I can't log in to my Broadband account.   My old password was not accepted so I changed it.  The change was acknowledged by email.

I still can't log in using either the new or the old password.  I've tried on Edge and Chrome.

Edit: The error message is "Invalid username or password".

@ffox 

If you're using special characters - "£$%^ etc then this is probably why it's failing.

Plusnet have raised this and it is being worked on - no timescale as to when it will be rectified.

Re: Change account password?

Thanks for getting back to us.

Can you try clearing cache, cookies and any saved passwords in your web browser then try logging in again?

Cleared cache, cookies and saved passwords in Edge and switched adblocker off.  No change - still can't log on with old and/or new passwords.

Hi @ffox,

I'm sorry to hear that the issue persists.

 

Are you able to try logging in with another device?

Thank you.

Re: Change account password?

Hello Guys,

 

Please can you try alternative deviuces and failing that try a password reset without any special characters. If the issue persists after 2 hours of changing the password, please get back to us.

Re: Change account password?

I have the same problem attempting to log in on an Android tablet.  As I said before, there are no special characters in either of my old or new passwords.
