Troubleshooting

If you received an error that you already have a sign-in partner credential

If you didn't switch sign-in partners before attempting to sign-in with your Wealthsimple credentials, your original sign-in partner credentials should still work. We recommend you use your original sign-in partner credentials to access government services.

If your credentials are invalid

If you can’t remember your Wealthsimple credentials you can reset your password, then try to sign in again. Make sure you’re signing in with the email and password associated with your Wealthsimple account.

• Open a Wealthsimple account if you don’t already have one, or 
• Sign in to your Wealthsimple account and follow the prompts to verify your identity to complete your account set up.
