Troubleshooting

Sign-in Code Rejected or Entered as a Password

  • Wrong password: Check the field label. A six-digit email code belongs in Six-digit code, not Password. If you chose password sign-in, click Use an email sign-in code instead, then I already have a code.
  • Only a password form is visible: Open Neptune sign-in again and refresh the page. If no email-code option appears, contact Neptune support for help. Do not keep trying the code as a password.
  • Invalid or expired code: Request a new code and use the newest email. Codes expire after 10 minutes and cannot be reused after successful sign-in.
  • No email arrives: Check the address, spam folder, and whether your administrator has enabled your account. Seeing the code-entry screen does not confirm that an email was sent.
  • Too many attempts: Wait a moment before requesting a new code and trying again.
  • Network problem: Check your connection and try again.

Follow the code sign-in steps or the invitation steps.

User Can’t Log In

Check:

  1. Is the account enabled? (No “Disabled” tag in the table)
  2. Is the email address correct?
  3. Are they signing in to the web app or the mobile app?
  4. For web sign-in, did they receive the six-digit code? (Check spam folders)
  5. Is the code less than 10 minutes old and unused?
  6. For a new account, are they entering the email address that received the welcome code?
  7. For a new Contractor, did they complete mobile password setup from the welcome email?
  8. For mobile sign-in, are they using the password they created during setup?

Solutions:

  • Re-enable the account if it’s disabled
  • Verify the email address is correct
  • Request a new web sign-in code if the previous code expired or was used
  • Send a password reset email when a Contractor needs help with their mobile password
  • Check that your email service is working properly

Can’t Add New Users

Check:

  1. Have you reached your seat limit? (Check the seat counter at the top)
  2. Are you trying to add the right type of user? (Regular vs. Contractor)
  3. Do you have admin access?

Solutions:

  • Disable an unused account to free up a seat
  • Upgrade your plan to get more seats
  • Contact your administrator if you don’t have access

User Not Receiving Emails

Check:

  1. Is the email address correct?
  2. Are emails going to their spam/junk folder?
  3. Is their email service blocking automated emails?

Solutions:

  • Verify the email address in the user’s details
  • Ask the user to check spam folders
  • Ask the user to whitelist emails from Neptune
  • Request another sign-in code or send a password reset email for a Contractor’s mobile password

User Appears in Wrong Dropdown Lists

Check:

  1. Is “Can have customers” enabled? (If they should appear in consultant lists)
  2. Is their role correct?
  3. Is their account active?

Solutions:

  • Edit the user and check/uncheck “Can have customers” as appropriate
  • Verify they have the correct role assigned
  • Ensure the account is enabled

Changes Not Taking Effect

Solutions:

  • Ask the user to refresh their browser
  • Ask the user to log out and log back in
  • Check that you clicked “Save” after making changes
  • Clear browser cache if issues persist

Cannot Change Email Address

Check:

  1. Did you click through the confirmation modal?
  2. Is the new email address valid?
  3. Does another user already have that email address?

Solutions:

  • Try again and confirm in the modal
  • Check the email format is correct
  • Choose a different email address if there’s a conflict
