Why can't I get logged in when I need access? It's very frustrating.

    I would also try using your browser's incognito or private mode, often accessible via right-clicking (on Windows) the menu option. That opens up a session that has no connection to saved cookies, etc, but also does not save anything on closing. So you'll have to enter in your information to log in.

    Also, although it might be a stressful thing to have to consider, do you have an anti-virus running, or are you familiar with the native anti-virus/anti-malware on your Operating System? If nothing was detected and it seems to be running correctly, it might be a good idea to download MalwareBytes or TrendMicro Housecall, just to run them and get another view of your system, to make sure nothing is interfering with your computer.
