Can't sign up for unroll.me

I am having the same issue. Works on OS X but NOT on IOS.

Contact the app developer for assistance. That's not an Apple product.

Sorry not an iphone or Apple issue since you're using a 3rd party app.

Here the link to their support site https://unrollme.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

For what it's worth I'm having the exact same issue and it's driving mad. I have 2-step verification so I created an app-specific password but even that didn't work. And to the helpful guys with "THAT'S NOT AN APPLE PRODUCT!" permanently in their clipboard, relax! It's not like the OP used up too much precious server bandwidth posting the question. This is a community. Believe it or not there are people here who actually like to try to help other people BECAUSE we're all using Apple products.

Hey all,
Thought I'd share my current issue with unroll.me:

The Unroll service worked fine for years for me, all the way up until it not working, a few months ago.
Newsletters began landing directly into inbox... and at the same time, I stopped getting Unroll weekly digests.

Unroll.me tech support concluded with:

Cory,

After looking into it, this issue is being caused by the IMAP server not accepting your iCloud login credentials. Without the proper credentials, the IMAP server will not allow you access into your account, which is why you are not able to sign up for an Unroll.Me account. This is something that is completely out of Unroll.Me's control, and not something we can influence.

If you would like to try again, please make sure you are entering the correct email address + password combination, and please make sure you do not have 2-step verification enabled on your account (if you do have it enabled, you will need to create an app-specific password for Unroll.Me).

Best,

Arye | Unroll.me Support

Preface for context: my original, primary Apple ID email address is*********(created during my young and unprofessional days) — I’ve since used ******** as an alias for years for everything email related, including newsletter sign-ups that Unroll.me used to sequester.

I think my having 2 email addresses is causing an IMAP-related screwup somewhere within the datashare between Unroll.me and Apple/iCloud mail servers?
I'd love to figure this out as Unroll.me was a daily blessing, and - quite simply - I need the **** service back before my inbox explodes.

Any hardcore Apple/iCloud Mail Server experts have any advice?

Thanks,

Cory

I have had the same issues. Used to work great for me, and suddenly stopped working.

If you find out anything about how to fix it, I'd love to know!

I just signed up for Unroll.me using an app-specific password which I created just for this purpose. Others reported this did not work, but it worked for me, so you might want to give it another try. Make sure you create a new app-specific password, rather than re-use one you created for another purpose. Perhaps that's the difference.

Using app-specific passwords - Apple Support

You will need to generate an apple specific ID. You can sign into https://appleid.apple.com and select "mange apple ID". Generate an app specific apple ID and use that as your password when you sign into the app.

I got this same issue a few weeks ago and just tried created an app specific password and after a failed first attempt I tried again logging into the unroll.me website and second time it logged me in, then tried the app again and sure enough it also worked. I need to see now if I stop getting flooded with junk but so far looking good.

for anyone not sure where to go to do this, log into Apple ID from the link in the post above then go to security and it's towards the bottom. Takes seconds.

Maybe not an apple product but surely this is a forum for people with Apple products to try and help each out when they have issues using them? Seems the perfect place if you ask me!! Also confused about who put you in charge ?

Almost as confused as I am about why you feel the need to respond to something I said nearly a year ago with a completely irrelevant comment.

I had the same issue just now and upon reading above comments, figured it was because I recently turned on two-factor authetication on my phone.

I reverted back to security questions and it let me log in fine.

I didn't try the app-specific password gen (Using app-specific passwords - Apple Support) but seems to work for above users.

HI there. I've had this happen twice, shortly after I've added new iphone/ipad. Customer support for the unroll me helped me the first time, and this time I remembered what to do.

You need to create an app specific password for unroll me. It generates a password. I named it Unroll Me when prompted. Then copied and pasted it when trying to sign into Unroll me and it opened right up and retained all the emails I had rolled up and kept. 😎

Here is how to do it:
