When You Can't Access Your Realm Digital Space
⚠️ Cannot access your Realm account.
Cause: Possible browser or computer issues, or incorrect login credentials.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. First, try clearing your browser's cookies and cache and/or rebooting your computer. If using a Google, Apple, or Microsoft account for authentication, ensure you are logged into the correct GAM account and the correct user profile on your browser. If your GAM account password was recently updated, you might need to reset its credentials as changes can take time to be recognized by the Realm digital portal.
⚠️ Forgot your Realm password.
Cause: You have forgotten your specific Realm password.
Solution: If you are using a direct Realm email and password login, look for a 'Forgot Password' link on the sign-in page. Follow the prompts to reset your password. If you are experiencing issues with a linked GAM account, reset the password directly through your Google, Apple, or Microsoft service.
