Troubleshooting steps for issues resetting your password
- Are you sure that you have an existing Plum account with that email address? You may want to try with a different email address if you are not sure. You will only receive the reset password email if you have an existing Plum account with the email you entered.
Did you access the assessment out of a direct link from your email? Your login attempt may be unsuccessful if you have not set a password yet for your Plum account. Some employers use loginless links for your Plum assessment, which means you don't need to login to complete the assessment. Once you click on the link, you will receive an email that will invite you to set your password for your Plum account. - We recommend using Google Chrome as your browser, in its most updated version. This ensures the ultimate platform performance, hence the performance of the reset password function.
