Why Am I Not Receiving the SciNote Password Reset Email?

If you requested a password reset but the email never arrives, it's usually because the account isn't active yet, your organization's mail server is filtering messages from SciNote, or the reset was requested on the wrong email address or instance. 

Why am I not receiving my SciNote password reset email?

Most cases are resolved by checking your spam folder, confirming you are using the exact registered email address and the correct instance URL, and asking your IT team to allow messages from scinote.net. If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO), no SciNote reset email will be sent — reset your credentials through your identity provider instead.


If you are not receiving your SciNote password reset email, most cases are resolved by checking your spam folder, confirming the exact email address and instance URL, and asking your IT team to allow messages from scinote.net. If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO), you won't receive a SciNote reset email at all — contact your SSO administrator or IT team to reset your credentials through your identity provider. For a locked account, see How do I regain access if I'm locked out or lost my authenticator device?

What quick checks should I run first?

  1. Search your entire mailbox — including Spam, Junk, and All Mail — for a message from scinote.net (the reset email can take a few minutes to arrive).
  2. Confirm you requested the reset using the exact email address registered on your account (not an alias or a different work address).
  3. Confirm you're on the correct instance URL. Premium and dedicated customers log in at their own address (for example, yourlab.scinote.net) — requesting a reset on the wrong URL won't find your account.
  4. Try again and wait 10–15 minutes before assuming the email failed.

What should I do if the reset email still doesn't arrive after checking my spam folder?

Corporate mail gateways sometimes silently drop or quarantine messages from SciNote before they reach your inbox.

  1. Ask your IT / email administrator to allow (safelist) messages from the scinote.net sending domain.
  2. Check any quarantine or email-security gateway (Microsoft Defender, Mimecast, Proofpoint, etc.) for held messages.
  3. Ask IT to confirm whether mail from scinote.net is being rejected or filtered, then retry the reset.

What should I do if I was invited but never finished setting up my account?

If you were recently given access but have never logged in, a password reset won't work — you first need to complete account activation.

  1. Look for your original invitation / account activation email from SciNote and use that link instead.
  2. If you can't find it, ask your Team Owner or organization manager to resend your invitation from the User Management page. For step-by-step instructions, see  How to Re-Invite Someone After Their Invitation has Expired
     

What does it mean if I see "Email not found" or the reset does nothing?

This usually means there is no active account for the address you entered.

  1. Double-check the spelling of your email address.
  2. Ask your organization manager to confirm your account exists and is active on the correct instance.
  3. Try a different supported browser if you're getting the error only in one browser.

What should I do if none of the above steps resolve the issue?
