Why is my client not receiving the ‘Portal Password Reset’ Email?

If a client has forgotten their Portal password, they can reset it by clicking the ‘Forgot your Password’ link at the Portal Log in screen.

However, the customer may respond that they did not receive the email for the Password Reset.  Here are the common causes of why they may not be receiving the recovery email.

Incorrect Username

The client may have entered the incorrect User Name in the Password Request screen. By default, their portal username will be their Matter number.  However, you may want to check they are entering the correct portal User Name when prompted.  

This can be confirmed by going to the Progress Tab of the Matter, then clicking the Portal button to see the Portal Username.

Incorrect Email Address

The incorrect email address may be recorded for your client in the Migration Manager portal.  This can be confirmed by going to the Progress Tab of the Matter, then clicking the Portal button to see the Portal Email address.

Email has gone to the client’s Junk email folder

Your client may need to check their Junk email folder for the email that is sent to them to reset their password.
