Account & Login Issues
Nothing's more frustrating than not being able to access your project when you need it. Account and login problems always seem to happen at the worst possible times—right before a deadline or when you're trying to share an important timeline.
The good news is that most access issues have straightforward solutions. We've organized the most common problems and their fixes so you can get back to your work quickly.
Can't Log In
Login page won't load or looks broken:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies
- Try refreshing the page or using an incognito/private window
- Check that JavaScript is enabled in your browser
- Try a different browser to see if the problem persists
"Invalid email or password" errors:
- Double-check that you're using the correct email address
- Use the "Forgot Password?" link to reset your password
- Check if caps lock is on when typing your password
- Make sure you're not including extra spaces before or after your email
Email verification code not working:
- Check that you're entering the 6-digit code exactly as shown in the email
- Look in your spam folder if you don't see the verification email
- Click "Resend" if the code expired or you didn't receive it
- Try the code in a different browser if it's not being accepted
Profile and Settings Problems
Can't find Settings or it won't load:
- Make sure you're fully logged into Soufflé (not just on the login page)
- Look for Settings in the left sidebar — refresh the page if you don't see it
- Clear your browser cache if Settings appears but won't open
- Try accessing Settings from a different browser
Profile changes not saving:
- Click the "Edit Profile" button first to enable editing
- Fill out all required fields before attempting to save
- Click "Save Changes" and wait for the confirmation message
- If changes don't stick, try logging out and back in
Password reset not working:
- Check your spam folder for the reset email
- Make sure you're checking the same email address you use to log in
- The reset link expires in 24 hours — request a new one if it's expired
- Try the reset process in an incognito/private browser window
Plan and Billing Issues
Can't change your plan or billing settings:
- Go to Settings > Plans to change your subscription
- Go to Settings > Billing & Invoices for payment method updates
- Make sure your current payment method isn't expired
- Try a different browser if the plan selection buttons aren't working
Payment failed or billing errors:
- Check that your credit card hasn't expired
- Verify your billing address matches your card's billing address
- Contact your bank to make sure they're not blocking the payment
- Try updating your payment method in Settings > Billing & Invoices
Hit your project limit but can't upgrade:
- Archive some older projects to free up active project slots
- Go to Settings > Plans and select a higher tier plan
- If the upgrade button isn't working, try a different browser
- Contact support if you're still unable to upgrade after trying these steps
Billing charges look wrong:
- Check Settings > Billing & Invoices to see your current plan and billing cycle
- Monthly plans are charged at the beginning of each month
- Annual plans are charged upfront for the full year
- Plan changes are prorated — you'll see credits/charges reflected on your next invoice
Can't cancel your subscription:
- Email souffle@breadboardfoundry.com to cancel
- Include your account email in the cancellation request
- You'll retain access until the end of your current billing period
Need to export data before cancellation:
- Use Export View in each project to download PNG and CSV files
- Do this before your subscription ends — you can't access projects after cancellation
- Trial accounts have a 30-day grace period, paid accounts have 90 days
- After the grace period, all data is permanently deleted
