If you are able to log into the website, but not the app, this may be due to a capitalization error. The website is not case sensitive in the username field, but the app is.

To request your exact username:

1. Navigate to your school’s web portal
2. Click the link Forgot Username or Password?
3. Click on the Forgot Username? tab
4. Enter email address, and click Enter
5. You should receive an email from your school with the correct capitalization of your username.

If you have verified the capitalization and can sign in via the website, send us an email at mobile.support@powerschool.com, noting the steps you have taken so far.
