Common Login Issues
- Error Message: "There was an error. Please check your information and try again."

Match what you see to the scenarios below for troubleshooting steps.
Scenario #1: "There was an error. Please check your information and try again."
What it looks like: After purchasing ABCmouse from the Apple App Store or Google Play, you try to sign in but see this error message on the sign-up screen:
“There was an error. Please check your information and try again.”
What’s happening:
Your login may be linked to an older ABCmouse account (inactive or canceled), and the system isn’t connecting it to your new subscription.
How to fix it:
- Contact our Support Team, and they will provide you with more detailed information and guidance to resolve this issue.
Tell the agent you are experiencing Scenario 1 and share the error message you see.
Scenario #2: You see a “Set Up Account” screen on one device, and an “Access your Account” screen on another
What it looks like:
On one device, you see a Sign Up screen asking for a new account.
On another device, you see a Log In screen for existing members.
What’s happening:
The sign-up process was started on one device but not completed. ABCmouse requires profile creation before recognising your subscription.
How to fix it:
Go back to the device showing the Set Up Account screen, which is the correct account tied to your recent purchase.
Complete the process there, including the creation of a profile in ABCmouse.
- If you are still unable to log in, contact our Support Team. Let the agent know you are experiencing Scenario 2 so they can confirm and assist you.
Scenario #3: You Have an Active ABCmouse Subscription, But Still Can’t Log In
What it looks like:
You try to log into ABCmouse Premium, but instead see the free Basic version of the app.
-
Or, in Settings, you see this message:
“Your legacy ABCmouse membership has been upgraded to the new version of the app.”
However, your paid features are still not available.
What’s happening:
You may still be using your original ABCmouse login on the ABCmouse app. The system sees that you have a paid ABCmouse subscription, but a new ABCmouse profile may have been created that isn't linked to your active subscription.
How to fix it:
This issue usually needs a manual password reset. Our team can help with that!
Let us know what screen you're stuck on and mention that you're an active subscriber who sees the “upgraded” message.
📝 Tip: Let our team know you’re seeing this message within Settings: Your legacy ABCmouse membership has been upgraded to the new version of the app. Tap the Support link below for details." Or let the agent know you're experiencing Scenario #3.
