Signing in sends you back to the sign-in screen

What to do when signing in appears to work but lands you back on the sign-in page.

If you enter your email and password, nothing complains, and you end up looking at the sign-in screen again - or at a blank page that never finishes loading - it is almost certainly not your password. Do not reset it.

Every time SyteNav opens a page it asks the sign-in service to confirm who you are. That check takes a few thousandths of a second normally, but if it cannot get through, the app used to assume you were signed out and send you back to sign in - where signing in worked, and the next page asked again, and bounced you again.

  1. 1Wait a few seconds and try once more - these outages are usually very short.
  2. 2If you see a page saying SyteNav cannot reach the sign-in service, press Try again on it. That page means your session is fine and the connection is not.
  3. 3On the phone app, close it completely and reopen it.
  4. 4If it is still happening after a few minutes, tell us - and say whether you saw the sign-in form again or the "cannot reach" page, because they mean different things.

A real sign-out looks different: you are told your session expired, or you land on the sign-in page without having tried to sign in. Being returned to the form immediately after a successful sign-in is the connection problem above.

Resetting your password will not help with this, and it logs you out everywhere while you do it.
