    There are several reasons why you may be getting an "Invalid Password" error message:
    • Set your CAPS LOCK key correctly. Passwords are case sensitive (meaning that "PASSWORD," "PaSsWoRd," and "password" are not equivalent), so be sure to keep this in mind when entering your password.
    • Sign in with the correct Email Address. Make sure that you are using the correct Email Address when signing in to your account.
