1. Problems Logging On
Is my Username or Password case sensitive?
Username IS NOT case sensitive, Password IS case sensitive.
I forgot my Password. How do I get it?
The Log In page has a link to retrieve your password, or click here: “Need your password?” and follow the instructions. You may either have your password emailed to you, or if you previously set a password security question, you can retrieve your password immediately by answering the password security question.
My Username and Password are correct, but I can’t log on.
- If you use our site’s “Remember me” function on your computer, please uncheck the “Remember me” box and re–enter the correct log on information. Then re–check the “Remember me” box and verify the correct information is being remembered.
- Your browser also has its own function to remember passwords and may be remembering the wrong information, whether or not you use our site’s “Remember me” function. If so, you may need to clear the browser’s password history (please be careful!). How to do it depends on the type of browser you are using:
- Internet Explorer: Go to Safety/Delete Browsing History.
- Make sure at least the following boxes are checked:
- Preserve Favorites website data
- Temporary internet files and website files
- Then click “Delete”
- Firefox: Go to Tools/Options/Security/Saved Passwords/Show Passwords.
- Highlight the proclaimsermons.com password and verify it is correct. If not, click “Remove”
- Google Chrome: Go to Tools/Options/Under the Hood/Clear browsing data
- Make sure the following boxes are checked:
- Clear browsing history
- Empty the cache
- Delete cookies and other site data
- Clear saved passwords
- Clear data from this period: Everything
- Then click “Clear browsing data”
- If you use a Yahoo Browser, you can try the method above for removing old passwords, but we suggest using Internet Explorer or Firefox, which can be downloaded by clicking either link, because the Yahoo Browser seems to be problematic when it comes to passwords.
Note: Even if your password is correct, there are times that a browser can “get confused” because it saves thousands of little files it needs to display web pages. After awhile, the “cache” may need to be cleared using the same process above to clear out all of these files.
Can I change my password?
Yes. After you log in, click on “My Account” and then [Change Password].
