Re: Authentication failed

Try following the instructions set out here: Email accounts locked, mailbox unable, unable to a... - Virgin Media Community - 4808847

Wait an hour after changing the password before retrying to access the account.

Re: Authentication failed

Hello @mcadman,

Welcome back, thanks for posting.

I am sorry for the issues with your password.

Is it working for you since changing the password?

Many thanks,

Re: Authentication failed

I changed my password, then all was well

Then I received an email saying there was a security issue and my account was locked

Changed my password again

All okay but took far too much of my time, for a service I am paying for ..
