Can’t login with existing credentials

For some reason it won’t accept my login credentials and instantly rejects. States an account can’t be found yet other apps work. Maybe my password is too complex and it breaks?

I second the Best Around comment

I’ve studies the forex market off and on for the past 3-4 years. Yes I was sucked into the IML pyramid scheme but I learned a-lot and took in all the content for the couple months I continued to pay. I later realized everything I was paying for, I could get for FREE. Start with BabyPips and come to IG Academy, and your foundation will be strong as steel. Yes I agree there is always more to learn, but these are DEFINITELY a great start. They give the same content I thought I had to pay for. And it has really helped me to lay the pavement for future trading endeavors.
