Troubleshooting
I can't sign in or didn't get the code
In this article
If BizBaby says your details don't match, use Forgot password? on the sign-in page and set a new password from the email. If you're waiting for a code, it goes by text to the phone number on your account, and it only works for 5 minutes. To get a new one, type any code, click Verify, then click Resend code.
BizBaby doesn't accept your password
The message is These credentials do not match our records. Check the email address first: it must be the one you signed up with, or the one your invitation was sent to. Then reset your password.
- On the sign-in page, click Forgot password? next to Password.
- Enter the email you sign in with and click Send reset link. The page says Check your inbox. It says the same whether or not the address has an account, so a typo won't show as an error.
- Open the email Reset your BizBaby password. If it isn't there after a few minutes, check spam or junk.
- Click the link, enter your email, a New password and Confirm new password, and click Set new password.
The link works for 12 hours and only once. An old or used link opens This link has expired. Ask for a new one.
The code didn't arrive
When you sign in from a network BizBaby hasn't seen for your account, the Multifactor Authentication window opens and BizBaby texts a 6-digit code to the phone on your account. The window shows the last four digits of that number.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| No text yet | Wait a minute and check the phone ending in the digits shown. The text starts with "BizBaby: DO NOT share this Secured code". |
| No Resend code link | It appears only after a code is refused. Type any 6 digits and click Verify. Then click Resend code. |
| Code refused | Code you entered is incorrect. Use the newest text only. Each resend replaces the old code. |
| Code too old | It's been more than 5 minutes, please request another code. Click Resend code and enter the new one straight away. |
| Too many tries | Too many verify code attempts. The message says how many seconds to wait. It happens after 5 tries within a minute. |
| Wrong phone | The digits shown aren't your phone, or you no longer have it. The window can't change the number. Contact BizBaby support at support@bizbaby.com. |
Once the code is accepted, that network is remembered and you won't be asked again there. Click Back to Login to close the window and start over.
The Phone verification page
Your first sign-in asks you to verify your mobile number on the Phone verification page before anything else opens.
- Click Send SMS message, type the code under Code and click Check. Resend SMS sends another one.
- No text? Click Call me instead to get the code by phone call, or Change phone number if the number is wrong.
- You entered an incorrect code. You have … more attempts. You get 6 tries. After that the page says You have tried too many times. You can change your phone number to try again.
- You entered a phone number that is already assigned to an existing account. Each account needs its own number. Use a different one, or sign in to the account that already has it with Log out to use another account.
Other messages
- Too many login attempts. Please try again in … seconds. Wait the time shown, then try once more, or reset your password.
