Why did my login fail?

There are a number of reasons why logins fail. Below are a number of reasons:

If you get the message "Unfortunately, we could not validate your details.", The most likely reason for this is that you have entered your username and password incorrectly. Please request a username/password reminder if required, and try again. This message may also be displayed on occasions where the Web site login system is not functioning.

The login screen carries the message:

"Cookies. Please note that in order to login to the Institution of Engineering and Technology website, you must have Cookies enabled. Please visit our cookies information page if you require more information."

• The reason for this warning is that cookies are disabled on your browser. Please set your browser to accept session cookies from www.theiet.org and try again.

If you are still unable to log in:

• Please email IET Webmaster with details of the problem, including any error messages that were displayed, the type of browser and platform you are using, whether or not you are connecting via a firewall or proxy server, if there are any security measures on your network that you are aware of that could affect logins and your Institution Membership number or enough information about yourself for us to be able to locate your user account.
