Trouble Logging In
If you’re having trouble signing into Mathshare here are three possible causes and ways to trouble shoot it.
- Update your browser. We recommend the Google Chrome web browser but do test on Safari and Firefox. To check your version in Chrome, open “chrome://settings/help” in a new tab. If your version is out-of-date, that should also give you the option to update.
- Your cookie settings are interfering with Google Sign-In. To check those, open “chrome://settings/content/cookies” in a new tab. If cookies aren’t allowed or third-party cookies are blocked, this will prevent sign-in from working. To fix this, go to the bottom where it says “Allow” and click the “ADD” button on the right side of that same row. Add “https://mathshare.benetech.org” as an allowed site and repeat for “https://accounts.google.com“
- Your school’s IT may have blocked Mathshare or limited your account’s abilities to sign-in to other tools. Contact your IT department to allow Google or Microsoft accounts to sign in to Mathshare. Email them a link to our Technical Brief for IT Departments here.
