Email Field

1. Click on the "Email Address" field
2. Type the email address you used when signing up
3. Make sure there are no typos or extra spaces

Important: Use the exact email address from your welcome email. This is case-insensitive, so [email protected] and [email protected] work the same.

Step 3: Enter Your Password

Next, enter the password you created when registering:

Password Field

1. Click on the "Password" field
2. Type your password carefully
3. Passwords ARE case-sensitive (MyPass123 ≠ mypass123)

2. Click the "Login" or "Sign In" button
3. Wait a moment while the system verifies your credentials

Invoices	View and pay your bills
Support	Open and track support tickets
