If you're experiencing login issues with Uku, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check for active sessions

You may have an active session from a previous login that wasn't properly closed.

  • Go to https://app.getuku.com/logout to perform a technical logout

  • This will clear any hanging sessions

  • Try logging in again after the technical logout

2. Verify your credentials

  • Double-check your username - ensure there are no extra spaces

  • Verify your password is correct - passwords are case-sensitive

  • Make sure Caps Lock is not activated

  • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link

3. Password Reset – Important Tips

If you're using the "Forgot Password" feature, follow these rules to avoid getting locked out:

Use only the MOST RECENT link

  • Each new password reset request invalidates all previous links

  • If you requested multiple reset emails, only the last one will work

  • Check your inbox for the newest email and use that link

Don't request multiple links in quick succession

  • Requesting too many reset links (3+) triggers a temporary security block

  • This block is silent – you won't receive an error message

  • If blocked, wait at least 30 minutes before trying again

Each link works only once

  • Once a password reset link is clicked, it expires immediately

  • If you see "Link Expired" error, request a new link and use it right away

  • Don't bookmark or save reset links for later

What to do if you're locked out:

  1. Stop requesting new links

  2. Wait 30 minutes

  3. Request ONE new reset link

  4. Use it immediately from the newest email

4. Clear browser cache and cookies

  • Clear your browser's cache and cookies for the Uku website

  • Restart your browser completely

  • Try logging in with a fresh browser session

5. Try a different browser or device

  • If the issue persists, try using a different web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

  • Alternatively, try logging in from a different device

  • This helps identify if the issue is browser or device-specific

6. Contact support

If none of the above steps work:

  • Take a screenshot of any error messages

  • Note the exact time and date of your login attempt

  • Contact Uku support with these details
