yup I am locked out of my account, and have twice requested that you email me details on getting a new password, only to be told

 "We've sent you an email.
Please check your inbox and click on the link that will allow you to change your password."

And both times I haven't received any email and I've checked all my spam folders etc,so please sort this out ASAP

what a shambles .

You can retrieve your saved password easily. Google is your friend.

It's OK Eircon I just noticed in my inbox that you finally sent me a password retrieval form at 3am in the morning so I'm back on your website again,
I can't wait till my current contract is up so I can move to an internet provider that puts millions into improving their infrastructure instead of spending it on a stupid needless name change,

& also one where I don't have to pay line rental on a phone I never use

Point of information, the VDSL infrastructure was a billion Euro investment.

What's exactly the problem you're having? We're with them and haven't noticed anything with account logins. What exactly should we be looking for?

Sounds like OP was relying on his browser to remember his password for him, so when eircom changed name it no longer brought up his password and he had to try and get it reset.

Totally eir's fault. Totally.

I was wondering was it something like that but gave them the benefit of the doubt!

Hi Guys and thanks MJohnston for outlining  how to retrive your password from your browser.

yes due to recent changes with eircom websites to eir customers may be prompted for their email password.

For eircom customers all of the information is here - https://autoreg.eir.ie/passwordchange/changeunknown_pwd.html

For non eircom customers the process is as follows:
• If you are not an eircom customer and you have not provided a security question & answer on your account, then unfortunately we have no information against which to validate your account details.
• In order to confirm ownership of the account, we will send an email to the email address which is queried and after 30 days if there has been no correspondence from that address to the contrary we will be able to provide you with access.

Customers who cannot remember their password may should / may be able retrieve this from the stored location of their browser and should try the following steps before requesting password reset.

For Chrome Users:
Click the icon with three parallel bars (hamburger icon) then Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and click Show Advanced Settings. Scroll down to Passwords and Forms and you’ll see a link to Manage Passwords. Clicking this link will give you a list of saved passwords and clicking on any link will reveal the password.

For Firefox Users:
Access Options, whether through the orange button, Tools or the icon with three parallel bars ( Hamburger Icon). Within options, go to Security. There is a list of saved passwords there which can be viewed.

For IE Users:
Setting – Internet Options – Content Tab – Settings (Under Auto Complete Option) – Expand eirom webmail url – click on show

If you continue to have problems with this let us know here or on our eir community and we can advise further.

Tony
