4 min read Updated
Use this page when you cannot sign in, cannot create an account, or see a page that says you have no access.
"Invalid credentials"
Why it happens: The email address or password is wrong.
How to fix it:
- Check that you typed the email address you signed up with.
- Check that Caps Lock is off.
- Click the eye button in the Password field to see what you typed.
- Try again.
What to check next: if you have forgotten your password, see the next section.
I forgot my password
Why it happens: Prism has no "Forgot password" or reset link.
How to fix it:
- Ask your Prism admin or your Techmagnate contact for help.
- Or email support@techmagnate.com from the email address on your account.
What to check next: once you can sign in, you can set a new password yourself. See Change password.
"Email and password required"
Why it happens: One of the two fields on the sign-in page is empty.
How to fix it:
- Fill in Email Address and Password.
- Click Sign In.
What to check next: if the page shows "Server error", wait a moment and try again.
"User already exists"
Why it happens: An account with this email address already exists. You may have signed up before, or an admin may have added you to a project with this email.
How to fix it:
- Go to the sign-in page. Click Sign In instead of creating a new account.
- If you do not know the password, ask your Prism admin or email support.
What to check next: see Create an account.
Sign-up errors
"All fields are required" means a required field is empty. Fill in every field and try again. Organization Type is optional.
"You must agree to the Terms & Conditions before creating an account." means the checkbox is not ticked. Tick it and click Create Account.
Password too short at sign-up. Your password must have at least 8 characters.
After "Account created successfully!", Prism takes you to the sign-in page. It does not sign you in for you. Sign in with your new email and password.
"Invalid token" or "No token provided"
Why it happens: Your session has ended while you were working. You stay signed in for up to 7 days on a browser. After that, you must sign in again.
How to fix it:
- Click your name at the bottom of the left sidebar and click Log out, or refresh the page.
- Sign in again.
What to check next: Remember me only remembers your email address. It does not keep you signed in.
Password rules
| Where | Rule | Error you may see |
|---|---|---|
| Sign up | At least 8 characters | "Your password must have at least 8 characters." |
| Change password | At least 6 characters | "Password must be at least 6 characters." |
| Change password | Both fields must match | "Passwords do not match." |
If you see "Failed to change password", try again. If it repeats, email support. See Change password.
"No access" messages
You may see one of these pages:
- "You need admin or owner access on at least one project to open this panel."
- "This area is only available to admin accounts."
- "You don't have permission to view this page." with "Please contact your administrator if you believe this is a mistake."
Why it happens: Your role does not allow this page. The Client panel is for project admins and owners. Viewers see the Prism panel reports only.
How to fix it:
- Click Return to Prism panel to go back to your reports.
- If you need access, ask your project owner or admin to change your role.
What to check next: read Roles and permissions.
"No projects assigned yet"
Why it happens: Your account is not linked to a project yet. The message says "Your account isn't linked to a project workspace yet. Ask your admin to add you to a project."
How to fix it:
- Ask your admin to add you on the Team page.
- Sign in again after they add you.
What to check next: Prism does not send an invitation email. Your admin should tell you when you have been added. See Team members.
