EDD password reset email not arriving - Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble resetting my password for the unemployment website. I requested a password reset email but it's not showing up in my inbox or spam folder. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on how to get it resolved?

Ugh, I had the same issue last month. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling their tech support line? They might be able to manually reset it for you.

•I haven't tried calling yet. How long did you have to wait on hold? I've heard horror stories about their phone lines 😩

•Honestly, it took forever. I was on hold for like 3 hours before I got through to someone. But it was worth it in the end cuz they fixed the issue right away.

•3 hours?! That's insane. There's gotta be a better way to handle this stuff. The system is so broken 🤦♂️

I found a method to get someone on the phone quickly. 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

•Wow, that sounds too good to be true. Have you actually tried it yourself? Is it legit?

•Yep, I've used it twice now. Saved me hours of frustration. Totally worth the 20 bucks imho.

•Idk man, paying to get through to a government service feels wrong. Shouldn't this be free?

•I get where your coming from, but for me, time is money. I'd rather pay $20 than waste a whole day on hold 🤷♂️

Here's what worked for me: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try using a different browser 3. Disable any ad blockers or VPNs 4. Double-check that the email address on your account is correct 5. If all else fails, create a new account with a different email Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info.

Have you tried contacting them through social media? Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive than other channels.

Protip: If you can't get the reset email, try logging in with your old password. Sometimes the system glitches and doesn't actually expire your old one. Worth a shot! 🤷♀️

•This actually worked for me once! The unemployment website is held together with duct tape and prayers I swear 😂
