I get a message ‘there was an error with your validation code’ when I try to sign in

You will need to set up a multi-factor authentication code when you login to Impact Plus for the first time.

You will see a QR Code on your screen, open the Google Authenticator app on your phone, press the “+” icon to scan the code using your phone’s camera and then type in the 6-digit code into the box.

If you do not have the Google Authenticator app on your phone, you can download and install it for free from the Play Store (Android) or the App Store (Apple)

You will need to enter a new code every time you sign in. This helps to protect your personal information and keep your account secure.

Using your Google Authentication App, remember that these codes change every 30 seconds, so ensure that you’re entering the code correctly with enough time remaining before it changes.

Please contact us if you need your Google Authentication Settings reset

How do I change my Two Factor Authentication settings?

All ImpactPlus accounts are required to use Two Factor Authentication using an Authenticator App.

This helps to keep your account secure. You will be prompted to set this up when first logging in to your ImpactPlus account. If you need to change this information, visit the  Two Factor Authentication Settings  from your account dashboard.

You can download an app  (e.g. Google Authenticator) for iOS or Android from the App Store.

How do I delete my user account and all personal data associated with it?

Please get in touch with us to remove your account.

I have not received an email to setup my password and verify my account?

Please check your Promotions, Junk or Spam folders and mark the email  from Impact School Improvement as ‘not spam’.

You can also use the lost password form to get a password reset link emailed to you, even if you’ve just signed up.

I’ve already created a Google Authenticator code for this website, why do I need another one?

We launched a new website on 11 July 2021, due to the secure nature of multi-factor authentication,  these codes could not be migrated to this new website.

You can remove the old code from your Authenticator App and create a  new one  upon your first login.
