To whom it may concern,

 

This has been an ongoing issue for over three days, but to enumerate the issue I’m having:

  • I attempted to create an account with my college account for a course I am currently taking.
  • On first attempt, I accidentally mistyped my email, yet passed verification, and seemingly Figma sent a verification email to the incorrect address I provided.
  • On second attempt, I entered my correct .edu address, passed the verification captcha, and get immediately returned to the log-in screen with the error message “Your request has failed.”
  • I have now attempted to create my account on 3 browsers (Firefox/Librewolf, Edge, and Brave) with no success.
  • I disconnected my phone from Wi-Fi to attempt to make the account with a new IP, with no success.
  • I attempted to have a classmate create the account for me, so that I could receive the verification email and change the password, and they were met with the same “Your request has failed” error.
  • I have waited for over 24 hours and cleared my cache of cookies between each attempt in case there was some token that needed to expire

Working with IT at my school, they determined that my email must have somehow been blacklisted.  I have created a ticket with support, but the automated system indicated it can take up to 5 business days just to respond, and I have assignments due this week that rely on this service.  I am hoping that by posting here, someone may be able to provide some assistance or insight with more immediacy.  Thank you in advance.

Hi ​@Brynasaur — Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

Thanks for reaching out and for taking the time to lay all of this out. I can see how time-sensitive this is, especially with assignment deadlines coming up.

Could you share your support ticket number with me? I’ll check on the status and escalate this internally to help move things along as quickly as possible.

If you don’t have the ticket number handy, feel free to share the email address linked to your request via DM and I can help locate it.

Really appreciate your patience here — I’ll do my best to help get this unblocked quickly.
