If you are unable to log-in using your computer or mobile device, here are a couple of troubleshooting recommendations:
If you are using a virtual private network (VPN) such as the UW-provided "Pulse Secure" or another VPN app, you will need to turn that off to sign-in.
If you are not using a VPN and still can't log on, you may need to make sure your web browser is up-to-date and use one of the recommended browsers (Firefox or Chrome for Windows, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari for Mac).
You may need to clear your cache or history. See this FAQ.
