Resource validation error when attempting to sign in to Insight
I have been unable to sign in to the Insight for about 2 weeks now. When attempting to sign in with my username and password i get "Unable to sign in. Resource validation error" with a Try Again button. I used the Forgot Password link to successfully reset my password, and am able to log in to the website using these credentials. Also, if I enter credentials I know are incorrect I get the error stating "Check the user name and password." I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Insight App.
- Kohdee, I am on Android. I am manually typing the email address.
I have found an unsatisfying solution by changing the email address associated to my account. This has allowed me to log in. It is unfortunate that the system did not support the initial address I provided, as all other Netgear services accepted it as valid.
Thank you

Are you using iOS and do you auto complete your e-mail address using quick text? There may be a space at the end of your e-mail. Can you confirm?

If not how did you create this account.This profile was created within the insight app when I was initially setting up my access point
2. Is the Issue resolved now, with the new password.
This issue is not resolved. I am able to log in to community.netgear.com and my.netgear.com through browser, but unable to log in with the app. Still seeing Resource Validation Error.

I just want to follow-up. The Insight maintenance has been completed. Are you still having the same problem?
