can't login to id safe

is anyone else having issues with logging in to id safe?  when i try i get prompted to "sign in" however when i fill in the info, i get a "failed to login...please check credentials".  the info im entering is correct.  if i try to access the account from the main console, i get an "IE cannot display page".  Is it safe to assume something is wrong on their end?  this is annoying because i cant access my "saved passwords" for websites!  Anyone else having issues??

Re: can't login to id safe

geez now i get a "your account is temporarily locked due to too many attempts"!!!  since i cant login via the toolbar or the "access account" from the main console. so i go to mynortonaccount via ie and get this: You have exceeded the number of allowable attempts to sign in. Please try again in 1 hour.  guess i have to wait an HOUR and try again?!?!

Re: can't login to id safe

It seems there is something wrong with Norton's server.  I'm seeing the same behavior as you, but once I did get a message that the server was unavailable.

 

I hate that they've changed were our Identity Safe logins are saved.  In previous versions, they were saved locally on our hard drives, so we could access them without having to login to the Norton Server.  Now, they save the information "in the cloud," which doesn't seem good to me in at least two ways:

 

  1.  If the server is down, there goes access to our logins.
  2.  I don't really want all the login info for the various sites I use to be stored on someone else's computer.  However, more and more password utilities are moving this way, especially the better tools (IMHO).  I wish they would let me decide where I want to store my info--after all, it is my info.

Apparently the server is back up.  I could just log into my Norton account and into my vault.  I hope yours works as well.

Thanks for the info!!:) and your points are the EXACT same issues why i was hesitant about using the new version!!  I much prefer to have the info on my end on not "stored" online.  im still getting the failed to login message. will have to try again later i guess. thanks again
