Description
When setting up a password for the first time, or resetting a password in a browser, you see a message indicating that you could not reset the password.
Possible causes and resolutions
1. The link has already been used
- The link received by mail can only be used once. Please request a new one.
- If the link has already been used, an HTTP 401 error code can be seen in the Browser Developer Console in Network tab.
2. Cache or Interfering Browser extensions
- Clear the WebBrowser cache and use Incognito mode
- If you have the CrxMouse Chrome extension enabled, please disable that option as we have seen it can cause login issues.
3. Request is blocked by company proxy
- Contact your IT team to allow the whitelist of the following 2 domains and all their subdomains:
*.securityscorecard.io
*.securityscorecard.com - If the request is blocked by company proxy, it is possible that the either Network tab or Console tab of the Developer console has recorded the failure and an explicit error message.
