How do I solve the “user already exists” error during the login process? (4 minute read)

Updated over 2 months ago

As an admin you may occasionally hear that a parent gets a “user already exists” error during log-in. Here’s what causes it and how to guide them.

What the Error Means:

The “User already exists” message appears when a parent tries to:

  • Sign-up using an email address that’s already registered

  • They click on the "Sign-up" button instead of the "Log-in" button when they have to log in.

How to Resolve it:

Here’s what you can advise:

Option 1: Use the Login Button Instead

If the user already created an account (e.g., from a previous invitation), they should log in, not try to sign up again.

Direct them to:

  • Open the Glanmore app or go to glanmore.kanpla.io

  • Tap “Log In”

  • Enter their email and password

Option 2: New Credentials Are Required

Important:

Parents cannot use their old WebOrder login.

The new platform requires them to create new credentials (email + password) by accepting the invitation links.

Remind them to avoid using any previous login info from the old system - this often causes confusion and login issues.

Option 3: Forgot the Password?

If they can’t remember the password they set, tell them to:

  • Tap “Forgot Password” on the login screen

  • Follow the link sent to their email to reset it
