Step 1: Check how you created your account

ZenBusiness has two login methods:
- Email and password — you signed up by entering your email and creating a password
- Google login — you used the "Continue with Google" button during signup

These are separate accounts. Using "Continue with Google" when you originally signed up with an email and password (or vice versa) will trigger the "account can't be found" error.

Step 2: Try both methods

1. Go to app.zenbusiness.com
2. Try email + password first (type your email manually — don't use Google)
3. If that doesn't work, try clicking Continue with Google

Step 3: Verify the email address

If neither method works:
- Double-check for typos in your email
- Try alternative email addresses you may have used at signup
- Check if the email was a work address that has since changed

If you still can't get in, contact support with the email address you believe you used and we'll look up your account.

1. Check your spam folder

Reset emails come from noreply@zenbusiness.com. Many spam filters catch automated emails. Check your spam, junk, or promotions folders and mark the email as "Not Spam" when you find it.

2. Re-subscribe if you unsubscribed

If you previously unsubscribed from ZenBusiness emails, password reset emails will also be blocked.

In Gmail:
1. Search your inbox for any previous email from noreply@zenbusiness.com
2. Open it and click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom
3. On the unsubscribe page, choose to re-subscribe instead
4. Request your password reset again

The process is similar in other email clients — find a previous ZenBusiness email, re-subscribe, then try again.

3. Add noreply@zenbusiness.com to your contacts

Adding the sender to your contacts tells your email client to trust future emails from that address.

4. Still no email after 10 minutes?

Contact us via live chat at zenbusiness.com/contact-us and we'll help verify your account and reset access manually.

Switched phones or lost access to your MFA device?

If you can no longer receive your MFA codes because you switched phones or your device stopped working:

1. Call our support team at (844) 493-6249
2. We'll verify your identity over the phone (quick process, required for your security)
3. Once verified, we'll reset your MFA so you can set it up on your new device

Hours: 8 AM – 8 PM Central Time

We cannot reset MFA via email or chat — a phone call is required to verify your identity.

Fix: Sync your device clock

Your browser's session tokens are time-sensitive. If your device clock is off by more than a few minutes, the system may repeatedly invalidate your session.

1. Check your current time at time.is — this shows your device time vs. actual time and the difference
2. If they don't match, sync your device clock:
3. Windows: Settings → Time & Language → Date & Time → Sync Now
4. Mac: System Settings → General → Date & Time → Set automatically
5. iPhone/Android: Settings → General → Date & Time → Set Automatically
6. Restart your browser and try logging in again

Step 1: Switch to Chrome

The ZenBusiness dashboard is built for Google Chrome. If you're using any other browser, switch to Chrome first — this resolves most display issues.

Download Chrome

Step 2: Clear your browser cache

Stale cached data is the most common cause of dashboard display problems.

1. In Chrome, click the three dots (⋮) → More Tools → Clear Browsing Data
2. Check Cached images and files (also recommended: Cookies and other site data)
3. Click Clear data
4. Reload the dashboard

Step 3: Try an Incognito window

1. Click three dots (⋮) → New Incognito Window (or press Ctrl+Shift+N / Cmd+Shift+N)
2. Go to app.zenbusiness.com and log in

If incognito works, a browser extension is causing the problem.

Step 4: Disable browser extensions

1. Three dots (⋮) → More Tools → Extensions
2. Toggle off all extensions
3. Reload the dashboard and re-enable extensions one by one to find the culprit

Step 5: Update Chrome

Outdated Chrome versions can cause compatibility issues:

1. Three dots (⋮) → Help → About Google Chrome
2. Chrome checks for updates automatically — if an update is available, click Update Google Chrome
3. Click Relaunch when done

I created my account with Google but now want to use email and password. Can I switch?

Contact our support team and we can help you set up an email/password login for your account. Currently, switching login methods requires us to assist you.

My password reset link expired before I clicked it. What now?

Password reset links expire after a short window for security. Request a new reset link from the login page, then use it immediately. If you're not receiving them, see the "Password Reset Email Not Arriving" section above.

I can log in on my phone but not my computer (or vice versa). Why?

This usually points to a browser or cache issue on the device that's failing. Clear the cache in Chrome on the problem device, or try an Incognito window. If your phone uses a different login method (Google vs. email+password) than your desktop, that could also be the cause.

I see "Your session has expired" constantly. What does that mean?

Session expiration can happen due to: inactivity, a clock sync issue (see the "Repeatedly Asked to Log In" section), or browser extensions that clear cookies. Try the clock sync fix first, then check your extensions.

Can I use ZenBusiness on Safari or Firefox?

The dashboard is built and tested for Chrome. Safari and Firefox may work for basic navigation, but you may encounter display issues, broken functionality, or document rendering problems. We recommend Chrome for the best experience.
