Unsure if your account is locked?

For security reasons, DigiCert doesn’t indicate when an account is locked during sign-in. You may continue to see generic error messages even if your account is locked:

  • On the password page:

    We don't recognize that sign-in. Did you forget your username or password?
  • On the 2FA page:

    Invalid one-time passcode. Try again or generate a new OTP.

Sugerencia

  • If you repeatedly see these messages while entering correct information, your account may be locked.

  • If you’ve tried signing in multiple times without success:

    • Check your email for the subject line: Your user account is locked

    • Follow the steps in this document.
