Quick steps: recovering account access

If you can’t log in:

  1. Check your email inbox and spam/junk folders for messages from M1, especially for password reset or security emails.

  2. Check for error messages and read them carefully; some require specific next steps.

  3. If you have 2FA enabled, make sure you have access to your authenticator app.

Troubleshooting by platform

Web

  • Make sure you’re using a supported browser (latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).

  • Clear your cache and cookies:

    • Chrome: Menu > More tools > Clear browsing data

    • Firefox: Menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data

    • Safari: Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data

  • Disable browser extensions that might block logins (e.g., ad blockers).

  • Try logging in via M1’s login page in an incognito window.

iOS and Android Apps

  • Make sure your app is updated to the latest version through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).

  • If issues persist, uninstall and reinstall the app.

  • Restart your device.

  • Check that your phone’s date and time are set automatically.

Resetting your password

You can reset your password at any time—no need to disable 2FA.

Web:

  1. Click Forgot password?

  2. Enter your email and submit.

  3. Open the password reset email from M1 (check spam/junk folders if you don’t see it).

  4. Follow the link and create a new password.

Mobile App:

  1. Open the M1 app.

  2. Tap Forgot password? on the login screen.

  3. Enter your email and follow instructions in your email.

Note: Too many failed attempts may lock your account for your security. You’ll be contacted via email if this happens.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) issues

  • 2FA codes are NOT sent via text or email—they are provided by your authentication app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) set up during 2FA activation.

  • Can’t access your authenticator?

    • On the login screen, select the option for trouble with 2FA or “Can’t access authenticator.”

    • Follow the onscreen recovery process or contact M1 Client Success.

Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (aMFA)

  • If M1 detects suspicious activity, you may receive a one-time 6-digit passcode by email.

  • Enter the code at the login screen to proceed.

  • Didn’t get the code?

    • Check your email, spam/junk folder, or search for messages from “M1.”

    • If you still don’t receive it, contact M1 Client Success.

Preventing future login issues

  • Enable 2FA for added security.

  • Always keep your contact information up to date.

  • Use strong, unique passwords.

  • Avoid multiple failed login attempts.

  • Log out after using public devices.

  • Regularly update your browser and app.

When to contact M1 Support

  • If you repeatedly receive an error message instructing you to “contact support,” your account may be locked.
