EDD MFA email not coming through - can't log into myEDD

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble logging into myEDD. The email for multi-factor authentication isn't coming through. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on how to fix it?

I found a way to solve EDD login authentication email issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cGFIBybMd8

Ugh, I've been there. It's so frustrating! Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes those emails end up there.

Yeah, I checked spam and junk. Nothing there 😫 It's like the email just vanished into thin air!

Same thing happened to me last week. Turns out my email address was slightly off in their system. Double-check that maybe?

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check your email address is correct in the EDD system 2. Add EDD's email to your contacts list 3. Check all spam/junk folders 4. Try requesting another verification email 5. If all else fails, contact your email provider If none of these work, there might be an issue on EDD's end. You'll probably need to call them (good luck with that 🙄).

This is solid advice. I'd add one more thing - sometimes clearing your browser cache and cookies can help too. Worth a shot!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

Yeah, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo

@profile10 I get it, but think of it this way - your time is worth something too. I'd rather pay $20 than waste a whole day on hold

Have you tried logging in using a different browser or device? Sometimes that can make a difference.

OP, how long have you been waiting for the email? Sometimes it can take a while... I once waited 2 hours before it came through 🙃

It's been about 3 hours now. I guess I'll keep waiting and hope for the best 😅
