FAFSA website login failing - no verification emails coming through

yep same issue here! been trying since yesterday and no emails. checked spam too. i called the fsa number but gave up after waiting 45 mins

This happens every year around deadline season when their servers get overloaded. A few things to try: 1. Use a different browser (Chrome works better than Firefox in my experience) 2. Try very early morning (like 5am) when traffic is lower 3. Make sure your email provider isn't blocking gov domains If none of that works, you might need to call FSA directly, but be prepared for long wait times.

I'm experiencing the same problem with my daughter's FAFSA application. We've been trying to access it for the past two days without success. The verification emails simply don't arrive, despite multiple attempts with different email addresses. Very concerning with deadlines approaching.

Hey everyone, I just got through after dealing with this same issue for days. What finally worked was using Claimyr to get through to an actual FSA agent who helped reset my account access. I found them at claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ The agent told me they're having issues with their email verification system and suggested a temporary account security bypass that worked immediately. Saved me hours of frustration!

I've been working in financial aid for 15 years and this is unfortunately a common issue during peak filing periods. The FAFSA system wasn't designed to handle the volume of applicants it now serves, especially after the FAFSA Simplification Act implementation created additional technical challenges. If you absolutely cannot get in, contact your school's financial aid office directly. Most institutions have procedures for students who encounter FAFSA technical difficulties, including deadline extensions or provisional aid packages while waiting for system issues to resolve. Document all your attempts to access the system (screenshots with dates/times) to support your case.

This is ridiculous!! The govt takes BILLIONS in taxes but can't build a website that actually works?? I've been locked out for 3 days and my son might lose his scholarship because we can't submit the stupid SAI score. Why don't they just FIX THE SYSTEM instead of making us jump through hoops every single year??!!

UPDATE: Finally got in! For anyone still having issues, I used Claimyr like someone suggested above and got through to an agent in about 15 mins. They confirmed they're having email system problems and helped me get a temporary access code that bypassed the email verification. My application is submitted now! If you're still stuck, definitely try calling through Claimyr or contact your school's financial aid office. Thanks everyone for the help!

omg it worked!! just got off phone with FSA and they fixed my account!! thanks for the claimyr tip, definitely worth it to not sit on hold for hours
