2. What If I Don't Receive a Password Reset Email?

If you're expecting a password reset email but haven't received it, try these troubleshooting steps:

Check your spam or junk folder.

Password reset messages can sometimes be filtered into these folders.

Verify your email address.

Search your inbox.

Search for messages associated with Rootsy or account recovery.

Request a new reset email.

If the recovery option is available, submit another request after checking your information.

Contact Rootsy Support.

If you still cannot receive the instructions, our support team can help investigate the issue.

3. What If My Password Reset Link Doesn't Work?

Password reset links may stop working if they have expired, have already been used, or are no longer valid.

If a reset link doesn't work:

1. Return to the official Rootsy login page.

2. Request a new password reset link, if that option is available.

3. Use the newest recovery message.

4. Make sure you're opening the complete link.

5. Avoid repeatedly using older recovery links.

6. Contact Rootsy Support if the issue continues.

For your security, never share password reset links with another person.

4. What If I Forgot Which Email Address I Used?

Your Rootsy buyer account is associated with the email address used during registration.

If you're unsure which address you registered with:

1. Check your email accounts for previous Rootsy order confirmations.

2. Look for registration or account-related messages.

3. Check which email address received previous Rootsy communications.

4. Try signing in using the appropriate registered email address.

5. Contact Rootsy Customer Support if you still cannot identify the account.

Rootsy may require identity verification before assisting with sensitive account information.

5. What If I No Longer Have Access to My Registered Email?

If you no longer have access to the email account associated with Rootsy, you may be unable to complete ordinary email-based recovery.

To request assistance:

1. Contact Rootsy Customer Support.

2. Explain that you cannot access your registered email address.

3. Provide the email address previously associated with your account, if known.

4. Follow any authorized identity-verification instructions.

5. Wait for guidance about available account recovery options.

For security reasons, account information cannot necessarily be changed without appropriate verification.

Rootsy cannot guarantee that every account can be recovered without access to the original email address.

6. What If My Password Is Correct but I Still Can't Log In?

If you're confident your credentials are correct, try the following:

• Check that Caps Lock is not enabled.

• Confirm that your email address is entered correctly.

• Remove accidental spaces from your login information.

• Check whether your browser has saved an outdated password.

• Refresh the login page.

• Try using an updated browser.

• Check whether browser extensions or privacy settings are affecting the website.

• Make sure required browser cookies are enabled.

If you continue receiving an error message, contact Rootsy Support and explain what happens when you try to sign in.

7. What If My Account Appears Locked or Restricted?

If you receive a message indicating that your account is restricted, temporarily unavailable, or requires verification, do not repeatedly attempt to bypass the restriction.

Account access may be affected by security checks, verification requirements, or other account-related concerns.

Contact Rootsy Support and provide:

• The email address associated with your account.

• A description of the issue.

• The error message, if one appears.

• The approximate time you encountered the problem.

Do not provide your password or one-time verification codes.

Rootsy may need to review the issue before account access can be restored.

8. What If I Suspect Someone Has Accessed My Account?

If you notice unexpected account changes, unfamiliar orders, or suspicious activity, act promptly.

Step 1: Secure your email account.

Change your email password if necessary and review its security settings.

Step 2: Change your Rootsy password.

If you can still access your account, change your password using the available secure process.

Step 3: Review your Rootsy activity.

Check recent orders and account information for unfamiliar changes.

Step 4: Contact Rootsy Customer Support.

Report the suspicious activity and explain what happened.

Step 5: Contact your bank or card issuer if necessary.

If you notice unauthorized payment activity, contact your financial institution promptly.

Do not follow unexpected password-reset links from suspicious emails or messages.

9. How to Create a Strong Password

A secure password helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

We recommend:

• Using a long, unique password.

• Avoiding passwords used on other websites.

• Avoiding easily guessed personal details.

• Using a reputable password manager if helpful.

• Keeping your password private.

• Changing your password promptly if you believe it has been compromised.

Never share your password with sellers, support representatives, or anyone contacting you through email or social media.

10. How to Recognize Suspicious Password Reset Messages

Be cautious if you receive a password-reset message that you did not request.

Warning signs may include:

• A link to an unfamiliar website.

• A request to share your password.

• A request for a one-time authentication code.

• Threats demanding immediate payment.

• Requests for banking or credit card information.

• Unexpected attachments or suspicious downloads.

If you receive a suspicious message:

1. Do not click unfamiliar links.

2. Do not provide confidential information.

3. Open https://www.rootsy.ca directly.

4. Review your account if you can safely sign in.

5. Contact Rootsy Support to report the concern.

A legitimate account recovery process should not require you to disclose your existing password to a support representative.

11. Will Resetting My Password Affect My Orders?

Resetting your password is intended to restore secure access to your account.

It does not normally mean that your existing purchases have been cancelled or refunded.

Once you regain access, review your order history to confirm that your purchases and account information are correct.

If you notice unexpected changes, report them to Rootsy Support.

12. Can Rootsy Customer Support Reset My Password for Me?

Rootsy Support can help you understand the available recovery process and investigate account access problems.

However, support representatives should not ask you to reveal your existing password or provide a one-time verification code.

For security reasons, some recovery requests may require identity verification.

Any account recovery assistance must follow Rootsy's authorized security procedures.
