Cannot Login to CR4 from Android Phone

12/29/2016 3:20 PM

Tried with my username, tried with my email addy, used the same password I use to login here via the computer. I've both typed in the info and copy-and-pasted it. Nothing works.

This is the CR4 login, not the Engineering360 login. It very clearly states near the top 'Login to CR4'

The response is: Invalid user name or password

Ideas, anyone?

Ideas? Yes.

You are trying to log in with an Invalid user name or password.

Good ideas? Not a single one.

Do you have the CR4 app?

Are you using a browser that you don't normally use to log in?

I'll see what I can find out for you. Have you tried more than one browser? I just got in on my Android using Chrome; I login automatically though so I don't have to remember my user name and password. I'll send in a ticket shortly unless I hear back that you've gotten in.

Anyone else having trouble?

I'm using the Chrome browser on Android. I don't have or use any other browsers on the phone.

OK. I'm assuming that since you're logged into a different device you haven't forgotten your login information :-). I'll send in a ticket. Stay tuned.

press the three dots in the upper right corner.

scroll down to 'request desktop screen' and try to log in from there.

Thanks.

Got the desktop version login screen and tried logging in. No luck. There's something about logging-in from my mobile that it doesn't like.

Here's the response from Support:

Hi Nancy,

The code that powers the mobile platform, is the same code that one would be accessing when using the browser on their computer. The only difference is that mobile uses a responsive layout to make it appear nicer on a smaller screen. That being said, it seems like they could have some sort of invalid session cached on their phone. I'd recommend having them try clearing their cookies/cache in the browser they use on their phone. This might be helpful to pass along if they're unsure how to do that: https://www.accessc.com/articles/clear-history-cookies-cache-android.html

Hope this helps!

Thanks.

Cleared cookies/cache and also closed all open tabs in the browser. Then tried logging-in. No change.

Sorry!

I'm not running anything fancy on this phone - no browser plugins, no ad-blockers, no games, nothing like that. Just pretty much a boring, garden-variety Samsung Galaxy S5 with stock apps.
