Universal Jobmatch login problems

Hello,

I am trying to log into my Universal Jobmatch account but its not letting me, my details are correct. what is weird is that I had access it today but now its not letting me as a error message keeps coming up stating the following: You entered either an invalid User ID or password, I know that is not true as I am entering my details correct. I never had a problem before but why today :mad:

Anyone else having problems accessing you're account today? or is it just me? :(

    Sorry to be slightly condescending, but do you copy and paste your username in?
    Because if you do, make sure it isn't inserting a space before your username :)

    My PC always does that.

    There has been a message saying on the home page for UJ saying that it will be down for maintenance, but i thought that was from 9pm tonight?

    EDIT: It says-

    The Government Gateway will be unavailable from 9pm, Thursday 18 July until 1am, Friday 19 July. You’ll still be able to use Universal Jobmatch without logging in.

    Yeah I noticed that message, maybe that is the reason why I can't log in? anyone else can login right now?

    Maybe DWP changed the time slot for maintenance?

    Just login in and now its working :D

    Thank god, I was so worried then thought DWP closed my account or something worse :rotfl: :)

    If DWP closed my account I would have lost all my applications I have made as I have made 193 applications through the site and also loads on my activity history.

    Untick the consent box, then it will not matter what happens to your account.

    I keep telling you guys this.

    Why give them another reason to sanction you.
