    Hi fabfiesta,

    Thank you for your post and welcome to our community forums. We're here to help.

    I'm so sorry to hear you're having some trouble registering a password for a My Virgin Media online account. Have you ensured you're meeting the necessary password criteria? Have you also tried using a different browser and/or device?

    Thanks,

      Hi Zach, 

      yes as I said in my post, I have tried all browsers, devices and password combinations. I have over 4 hours of online chat with various departments who can’t help me, one even tried to set up a password for me and couldn’t then she passed me to someone else. I have also tried calling and had no luck there. This is a common problem on your community chat and needs to be fixed! Please some one must be able to help, how can I not access my account online?

        Hi Karenbish21, 

         

        Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums. 

         

        Can you please try the following for me please: 


        Step 1: Recover the MyVM Password


        Select sign in 
        Select Forgotten your email or password? under the password box 
        Follow the instructions to change your password 

        Step 2: Generate a new E-mail App Password


        Sign in to My Virgin Media 
        Go to Account settings, then Account details 
        Tap Manage next to Manage your Virgin Media Mail app password under Virgin Media Mail 
        Then, under Virgin Media Mail app password tap Get password 
        Continue the flow and a new secure password will be generated, and the mailbox unlocked 
        Update any third-party apps that may be use to access your Virgin Media Mail emails with this new app password. 

         

        Cheers, 

        Ryan.

      I've got exactly the same problem.  I've tried on multiple devices with different password combinations and have just updated the app too which didn't work.  Please can you help me get this sorted.  Thanks.

        Hi JohnnyRob999, 

        Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums.

        We're sorry to hear you're having difficulty getting registered for My Virgin Media due to this error. 

        This is something we can certainly check for you but in order to do that I will need to confirm some information with you to pass security. 

        I have sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. If you are using a PC/Laptop then you can just click on the little ✉ at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox. If you are on a mobile/tablet device then instead click on the little circle icon in the top right then select 'Messages'. 😊

        Many thanks,

      Hello,

      I have the same issues. I have tried different passwords and tried an incognito browser and a completely different browser. I also tried to select forgot password but it said "Please ensure you provide the email address you use to sign in to My Virgin Media." so I don't think I have another account with you. the error messahe reads "Sorry, there was a problem registering that password. Please choose a different one."

      Any help would be much appreciated.
