How to troubleshoot

Follow these checks in order. Menu names may vary between devices and app versions.

  1. Open ancestry.com directly in your browser and select the sign-in option; avoid unexpected links in email or messages.
  2. Check your account email and password carefully, including any saved credentials in your browser.
  3. Try an updated browser or private browsing window to test whether cookies or extensions are interfering.
  4. If you cannot sign in, use Ancestry’s official password reset or account recovery process.
  5. Record the exact error message and device details if the issue continues; never disclose your password or verification codes to a third party.

Check where the problem occurs

Try a second supported browser or device. If sign-in succeeds there, the original browser or app may have outdated cookies, software or saved credentials. If it fails everywhere, focus on account recovery rather than repeatedly retrying.

Keep your account safe

Only enter your Ancestry account password and verification codes in Ancestry’s official sign-in flow. An independent guide or callback service does not need these credentials.

Official account access: Visit ancestry.com directly to sign in or recover your account. This website provides general troubleshooting guidance only.
