Can't access my account

[Martinamarcozzi]

Can't access my account I forgot my password. Now the stupid system locked me out after only 2 attempts. I haven't log in my account for so long because every time is such a pain in the back.

[Martinamarcozzi]

No. Not even the bank has a more stupid security system. Can't contact customer service can't call none to help you can't even try reset password because after I put my email it says I'm locked out so can't access security questions the website just doesn't work properly and I'm having difficulty submitting a ticket It's just unbelievable how useless this service is

@Martinamarcozzi 

You must have entered the wrong password in your 2 attempts to login to your account.

The system is to prevent hackers trying to access your account so I wouldn’t blame the system. In the future, enter your password in your phone under Notes.

Just wait 15 - 30 minutes to login to your account and click Forgot Password and answer your security question.

Good to know. @computergeek541 , thanks

@Community_QA 

The lockout wait time is exactly 15 minutes but the website says 1 hour.

[Community_QA]

just wait an hour , and some said 15 mins

But it's good they do that. If someone can easily heck into it, SIM fraud will follow

Have you ever created a self serve account before, if not you can register for one here:

https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/self-registration/

If you have created a self serve account and you are having issues logging in, try clearing your browser's cache, or try a different browser or device. Opening a tab in incognito mode may help as well.

Also, too many failed attempts may temporarily lock your account access. So wait 15+ minutes before you try again.

Then try the "forgot your password" option: https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/forgot-password/

If suspended for over 90 days, then you lost your account, phone number and access to self serve.

If still a current customer and still having issues, contact CSA for help. Methods to submit tickets to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA) found here:

Have you tried the forgot password link? If you know your security answer you may be able to resolve it quickly

Please submit a ticket and someone will be able to help you shortly. Losing your password can be a real challenge with anything these days. 
Good luck.
