Troubleshooting Common Login Issues

If you’re having trouble logging in, don’t worry—here are some common issues and how to fix them:

  1. Wrong Email Address:

    • Problem: You might be using a different email than the one tied to your subscription.

    • Solution: Double-check the email you used when signing up. If you’ve used multiple emails (e.g., personal vs. work), try each one. You can also log into macrofriendlyfood.com/my-account/ to confirm the correct email under your account details.

    • Tip: Always use the same email for both the website and web app to avoid mismatches.

  2. Forgotten Password:

    • Problem: You can’t remember your password.

    • Solution:

      • On the login page (macrofriendlyfood.com/my-account/ or macrofriendlyfood.app), click “Lost your password?” or “Forgot Password?”

      • Enter your email address, and you’ll receive a password reset link.

      • Follow the link to create a new password, then use it to log in.

    • Tip: Choose a password you’ll remember, or save it in a secure password manager.

  3. Browser Issues:

    • Problem: The web app isn’t loading, or you’re seeing an error after logging in.

    • Solution:

      • Clear your browser cache: In Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data; in Safari, go to History > Clear History.

      • Try a different browser (e.g., switch from Safari to Chrome) or device.

      • Ensure your browser is up to date.

    • Why: Cached data or outdated browsers can cause loading issues with web apps.

  4. Account Not Recognized:

      • Ensure your subscription is active by checking at macrofriendlyfood.app/account-settings > Subscriptions.

      • If your subscription is “Cancelled,” you’ll need to resubscribe at https://macrofriendlyfood.com/mff-app-recipes/.

    • Why: The web app requires an active account on macrofriendlyfood.com to function.
