The username or password you entered was invalid. Please note that repeated failed attempts will result in your account being locked out.
All usernames are unique, but ShipStation allows the same email address to be associated with multiple usernames. In most cases, your email is also your username.
Always log in with your username to ensure your credentials match the account you are logging into. There may be some cases where an email is linked to multiple usernames, and you are unsure of your or other usernames associated with your account. Check with the account admin to see what other usernames there are. Then, try logging in with the other usernames.
