I'm having difficulty logging in

If you are having trouble logging in using your password, perhaps try copying and pasting the password, or make sure your Caps Lock is off.

If it is still a problem, it could be that your browser is saving an older, incorrect version of your password and re-entering it when you fill in the field. If you think that might be it, clearing your cache file could help.

I’ve asked for my password to be emailed and it is not working.

Make sure you enter only one of your Member Number or your email address on the lost password page, not both.
Have you entered your correct email? Or could you have used a different email address?
If you are still having problems, contact the office. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
