Mike999 0 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I am attempting to log into my Ufile account and cannot do so. I have made no changes to my account and my pw is rather secure and not remotely easy to guess. This is very frustrating, especially considering that I never received an email from Ufile asking me to change or create a new password. I absolutely would have caught that, if that's what happened.

Charlie 0 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I had the exact same problem. I submitted a support ticket a few days ago and still have not heard back. Is the move to 2FA mandatory? What is the timeline? The move to 2FA and how it's rolling out is not mentioned in the FAQs, but it should be. This is very confusing.

dnikkel 1 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I also cannot log into my account. I have no problem with setting up 2FA but I've never been asked to. I've used Ufile since 2003 without any issues. It looks like they are no longer a reliable service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nawal 3 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi Mike999, an email with the password reset link has been sent to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine7 13 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 UFile is always concerned about the security of your data. As part of this process, we are introducing a new level of security for passwords. Please follow on-screen instructions to make sure that your new password meets the strong password criteria.

S.H. 0 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I had the same problem and it was shocking that after I chose the option of "password reset", a password reset email was sent to another email of mine which was not registered on ufile (instead of my gmail, it went to my ymail of the same name). I am glad that the other account actually belongs to me and I sent a support request form to Ufile and have not got any reply since Sunday.... p.s. I verified in my Ufile account that only one email was registered after I logged in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie 0 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 So I finally received an email from the help desk requesting needed information to reset my password. I emailed them six days ago - have not heard back since. Since who knows where that email went, I sent another request via the web form. The lack of response and timely information is really disappointing considering this is a paid service that handles confidential information. I am a long time customer, but If it doesn't change, I will be looking elsewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites

betaman 0 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I have also run into the password reset problem. It's been over 12 hours and I haven't even received the automated e-mail yet in response to my password reset form submission. Have used the contact support link twice and am currently waiting to hear back. The password reset form is terribly unfriendly and the fact this change happened without warning is unfortunate. Each year I help half a dozen or more people with their taxes using uFile. They are not technical users and there is no way they will be able to navigate the password reset process. Which means I will either need to walk each of them through it, over multiple sessions since the reset takes so long, or I'll need to introduce them to a new product. The bottom line is uFile is likely to lose customers over this overly awkward and slow account change. I hope the company rethinks their approach and gets it fixed before the end of February.
