TELUS Team MemberHi Noffica, could you kindly elaborate on the screens you're seeing before you get to the "your account login has failed" error?
If you're being logged in automatically (and failing), I would suggest trying to log in manually. You can do so by
- Select "Settings" on the top right of the screen
- On the settings menu select "Account Information"
- Scroll to the bottom and choose "Switch account"
- On the next screen choose "Log out"
It should show you a screen where you can manually enter your username and password. I know it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that you need to log out of an account that you weren't able to login in the first place, but this is how to prompt the manual login page.
Let me know if you're able to manually log on. The investigation team is waiting for this confirmation before moving on to the next troubleshooting step. Thanks.
Hi Kate,
Thanks for the reply. The error happens when we turn the set top box on - it goes to 'verifying' and then says could not be verified. We have already tried the manual login - it was the first thing we tried. We also factory reset the box, Telus replaced the box, we factory reset the new box, and so on. We cannot log in on the app either - it just says 'login failed'.
I have spoken to tech support about 12 times about this. One tech noted that there was no box serial number on the account, and that something wasn't provisioned correctly. That was fixed I believe but it still didn't work. Another tech sent it to the back office who sent it to your provider 'Opus' who tried something, which didn't work. It has now been sent back to 'Opus' again, but their responses have been taking much longer than the expected 48h. The ticket number is 5675751.
