| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------|--------------|----------| | “We don’t recognize that email” | Teacher used personal email instead of the one on the license. | Contact school’s Second Step license manager (often the counselor or principal) to add the correct email. | | Activation key not working | The key is for a different edition (e.g., Early Learning vs. Elementary) or already used. | Double-check the key’s label; each kit has a unique key. Contact Committee for Children support if needed. | | Forgotten password | Self-explanatory. | Click “Forgot password?” – a reset link goes to the registered email. | | Student can’t log in | Student using educator portal or wrong class code. | Ensure student uses the correct student URL (often https://secondstep.org/student ) or class-specific link. |

One of the most common issues users face is distinguishing between the main Second Step login and specific app logins. It is important to ensure you are on the correct portal; if you are having trouble with your credentials, the "Forgot Password" link is the quickest way to recover access. Once logged in, users gain immediate entry to their dashboard, where they can stream lesson media, download teaching notes, and track implementation progress. | Problem | Likely Cause | Solution |
