Trying to access email - getting Forbidden message

Hi, 

I am having same issues as guy above.

New Windows 11,  my windows 10 is fine.

Your not listening to him,

He cannot get a app password, because he cannot get into emails at bottom of user main login page.

https://www.virginmedia.com/myvmo2/home

because when we click 

We get

 

So we are in circle of doom,  no online explorer / edge / chrome app access,  no 3rd party app access due to you changing system to app password and not having working system,  or info anywhere on how to fix.

Regards

Frank

    The tile you highlight is not the one for changing settings and passwords.  You need to sign into the My Virgin Media account for the email address concerned and then click on Account Settings followed by Manage Virgin Media settings.

  • I have been using instructions,  that what it says,  I cannot get into the account due to forbidden message.

      Delete cookies relating to virgin media, close the browser and then reopen. If you still get the forbidden message then try resetting the passwords via the instructions I posted previously.

  • OK..  update, virgin have killed old email on old pc and on phones by changing my account password,  not giving me a app password.  

    I now cannot get into my emails any where,  I cannot change my password back to something secure that was given openly over chat,  because I have to give them a different email to send reset to as I have no access to old email setups because the chat "guru" was not listening and changed my main password.

    Anyway, so have worked out that this is something to do with my account,  because on my sons pc,  he can access mail.virginmedia.com without issue,  log him out try the new password they gave me "Forbidden" again(same as above).

    So assume my two pcs, have nothing wrong with them and its the setup of my account.

    My son will try logging into his account on my pcs as a double check tomorrow...

    Still waiting for someone from virgin get in touch as the phone support guy, although nice did not know what to do so escalated it.
