topic Login email code never arrives in Nest Thermostats

Login email code never arrives

Jeffc5 — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 14:26:29 GMT

I have had this thermostat for years.. since Nest the company was selling them.

Occasionally I need to access my account to change the schedule etc.

Today is one of those occasions.

When I login now tho, I get a prompt to enter a code sent to my email. But (like many others have reported) there is no such email arriving in my inbox.

- My email address is a gmail address.
- There are no typos in the email address as shown in the “code will be sent to this email” page.

- I have checked the spam folders.
- I am using gmail on the web, so there’s no question of another mail client causing problems.

I use the same email used here in the forum in case someone with nest/google can troubleshoot/fix this issue.

thx

Fwiw, I got a code 50 minutes after the “sent time” in the email.

(the code is good for 15 minutes.)

(somewhere I think there’s a not so happy mail server.)

Hey Jeffc5,

Thanks for the update. To confirm, were you able to receive the code on time?

Best,

Archie

I think a couple days later I got a flurry of “code” emails.

The nest signon email outage seems to have slowly recovered.

You guys should really do something about that. Eg SMS.
