Says that I have already used an email address but when I try to reset the password, I never receive an email to reset it.

Does anyone know why it would tell me that I have already used an email address but when I attempt to reset the password, I never receive an email through that account so I can reset it?

Hey MarianneParris,


There may be a few reasons why you are not receiving the email. One is that it may show up in a spam or archive folder within your email account. Another reason is that you may have a rescue email address set up that is an alternative place for that reset password email to go to. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
