Symptom: 'Email or password is incorrect'
Symptom: 'Email or password is incorrect'
Cause. The email or password is wrong, or the account does not exist.Fix.
- Double-check the email address. The portal is case-insensitive on the address but the address must match the one your invitation was sent to.
- Click Forgot password to reset. A reset link goes to your email; the link expires after 30 minutes.
- If the reset email does not arrive within 5 minutes, check spam, then check that the email address is correct.
- If you still cannot sign in, write to support@brandatlas.pro with the email address.
Symptom: 'Your account is locked'
Symptom: 'Your account is locked'
Cause. Too many failed sign-in attempts in a short period. The account is auto-locked for 30 minutes to defend against brute-force attempts.Fix.
- Wait 30 minutes. The lock clears automatically.
- When you next try to sign in, use a known-good password (reset if uncertain).
- If the lock recurs, your account may be the target of a brute-force attempt; write to security@brandatlas.pro. We will adjust the account’s defences.
Symptom: 'Your session has expired'
Symptom: 'Your session has expired'
Cause. Sessions expire after 14 days of inactivity, or immediately when the password is changed, 2FA is reconfigured, or sessions are explicitly cleared.Fix.
- Sign in again with your current credentials.
- If 2FA is enabled, complete the second factor.
- If sign-in works, the previous session expired normally; no action needed.
Symptom: 2FA code is rejected
Symptom: 2FA code is rejected
Cause. Most commonly: the code has expired (TOTP codes last 30 seconds) or the device’s clock is out of sync.Fix.
- Wait for the next code from your authenticator app and try again.
- Check that your phone or computer’s clock is set to network time (TOTP relies on synchronised clocks).
- If you no longer have access to the authenticator (lost device, reset phone), use one of your saved backup codes (issued at 2FA setup).
- If you have no backup codes, write to support@brandatlas.pro for account recovery. Identity verification is required.
Symptom: 'Sign in with Google' / 'Apple' / 'Microsoft' fails
Symptom: 'Sign in with Google' / 'Apple' / 'Microsoft' fails
Cause. Either the third-party identity provider is having an issue, or the identity is not linked to a Brand Atlas account.Fix.
- Check the provider’s status page (Google, Apple, Microsoft each have one).
- Try signing in with email and password instead. If that works, the third-party link can be re-established from Settings → Account → Sign-in methods.
- If the email-and-password route also fails, see other symptoms above.
Symptom: SAML/SSO sign-in loops or fails (Guardian)
Symptom: SAML/SSO sign-in loops or fails (Guardian)
Cause. The SAML configuration on the identity provider has drifted (a certificate has expired, a binding has changed, a user’s attributes are missing).Fix.
- Your IT team checks the SAML configuration in the identity provider against the Brand Atlas SAML setup page.
- Check the certificate expiry. Brand Atlas notifies brand owners 30 days before SAML certificate expiry.
- Confirm the user’s attributes (email, name) are being sent in the SAML assertion.
- As a fallback for the user, the brand owner can disable SAML temporarily; the user signs in with email and password until SAML is restored.
Symptom: Sign-in works but the atlas does not load
Symptom: Sign-in works but the atlas does not load
Cause. Network or browser issue, or the atlas itself is having a problem.Fix.
- Check your email for an incident notice. During the pilot, active incidents are communicated by email to brand owners; see Status for the current channels.
- Reload the page. Hard-refresh if needed (
Cmd-Shift-R/Ctrl-Shift-R). - Try in an incognito or private window. If it works, a browser extension or cached state is the issue. Clear site data for
brandatlas.pro. - Try a different browser. If it works, the issue is browser-specific; write to support with the browser version.
- If none of the above works, write to support@brandatlas.pro with a screenshot.
When to escalate
Write to support@brandatlas.pro when:- The fixes above do not resolve the issue.
- The symptoms do not match any of the above.
- You suspect your account has been compromised (a sign-in you did not initiate, a notification of an unfamiliar device).
