Client portal

Can't log in to the client portal

Most portal sign-in failures come down to one of three things: the account isn’t active yet, the wrong sign-in method is being used, or a stale browser session is interfering. Work through the steps below in order.

Steps

Work through these in order.

  1. 01

    Confirm your account is active

    New client accounts are activated by our team once onboarding is complete. If you’ve just signed a contract, check for a welcome email confirming activation before attempting to sign in.

  2. 02

    Use the same email your account was created with

    Portal accounts are tied to a specific work email address. A personal email or a different company address (e.g. after a name change) will not match an existing account.

  3. 03

    Clear cookies for cyber-guardians.co.uk, then retry

    A partially expired session can cause a silent redirect loop back to the login page. Clearing cookies for this domain specifically (not your whole browser) resolves this in most cases.

  4. 04

    Try a different browser or a private/incognito window

    Rules out browser extensions (ad blockers and privacy extensions are the most common culprit) interfering with the sign-in flow.
