Troubleshooting
It says the password is wrong
The page shows “Password is incorrect.” Type the password you use to sign in today. If you have forgotten it, sign out and use “Forgot password?” on the sign-in page.
It says the address is already in use
“That email address is already in use.” means another account signs in with it. Choose a different address.
It says that is already my address
“That is already the email address on this account.” Nothing needs to change.
It says email cannot be sent right now
“Email cannot be sent right now. Your address was not changed. Try again once outbound email is available.” Nothing was changed. Try again later.
Tips
