Having problems logging in to ntlworld.com email on Virgin webmail - get the message "We didn't understand the username or password you entered. Please try again".
Problem occurs on various browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox
The email account and password are correct, they still work on a smartphone email app.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks
Chris

As the ntlworld.com email address was not linked to your active account you should read this post, Orphan Email accounts to understand its status. Mix and match of email addresses between accounts is not possible however the complete set can be moved from one to the other. I have flagged your post to the forum team who are best placed to help further however be aware it can take them a few hours / days to respond.

Is that verbatim or was error message, “We didn't recognise the username or password you entered. Please try again.”?
Is the email address linked to an active broadband service account with Virgin Media?

Thanks for getting back to me. The message was as you described “We didn't recognise the username or password you entered. Please try again.”
The address is linked to an active broadband account; I tried the forgotten email or password links, neither of these worked.

If the address in question is not the primary one for the account try:

Thanks - although Virgin had told me they were linking the email to the account, it seems like the ntlworld email is just being treated as a contact email address, so there's no option to change its password via this route. Can I get Virgin to link the email to the account?

I am also having this problem with my Ntlworld email. I moved 6 months ago & could not take Virgin with me as you do not supply my area. I get this message when I try to sign in "We didn't recognise the username or password you entered. Please try again." which is the same as the screenshot someone else posted. Help please
Thanks
