I'm trying to sync my gospel library app as well as LDS tools, but it won't let me sign in. I put in the correct username and password for my LDS account, but it says it can't log in.

What is your operating system? What message do you receive or what happens when you try to sign into Gospel Library?

It is possible you do not have your MRN registered with your Church Account. Go to Church Account and look in the Profile/Membership tap to see what is there. You may have more than one account and are trying to sign in with the one that does not have your MRN registered with it.

Often, servers get overloaded on Sundays. Are you still having issues today? Member Tools is a little different, but for Gospel Library, having a membership record number associated with your Church Account isn't required (as long as your username and password is correct, it should let you sign in).

Note also that if you type an incorrect password a few times in a row, the account will be locked from signing in for a little while (I don't remember exactly how long it is, but less than a day). If this is the case, while your account is in a locked state, you will get a sign-in error.

If I remember a post by a church employee correctly, it's 15 minutes.

What verson of GL? It's possible 5.2.2 and prior may have been cut off from logins. Especially if your phone is Android 4.4 or prior.

"Sign in failed. Verify your username or password." The odd thing is it will work when I'm logging in to the church site

I'm also having the same issue. I can log into the church website but get that same error message on all the church apps. I have a Galaxy Note 10+.

I’m having the same issue. I’ve changed my password and force quit the app and everything. So far none of my efforts have worked, even though there is no specified error. The message just reads that i can’t sign in.

Do you have any web filtering on your device? It may be blocking access to the servers.

No, I don't have any web filtering on my device. I also made sure I allowed all permissions for the app.

Just a shot in the dark, but one other thing I've read is that some special characters in passwords (and possibly user names?) can cause login issues. I don't use special characters in my user name or password and have never had any problems. It is possible that some special characters may be fine but others may not be.

That might be something you can check.
