I signed up for SketchUp Campus and enrolled for two courses (Fundamentals and Landscape). I started lesson 1 of both successfully.
Today (a day after signing up) I wanted to continue with my lessons but cannot sign-in. When I click on SIGN IN the following message is returned in the Chrome browser address bar:
https://learn.sketchup.com/?kind=validation&message=Validation+failed%3A+Email+has+already+been+taken
There is no other obvious way of getting back to my dashboard with enrolled courses.
Are you trying to sign in or sign up as with a new account?
Is it possible you arenāt using the same password as you did before?
Trying to sign in (created account yesterday).
I dont get a chance to enter email or password. I click on SIGN IN and nothing happens except message that appears in address bar See attached).
I am also using password manager - unlikely that password will be incorrect.
Anyone else using Sketchup Campus? ANyone else having trouble to SIGN IN? Anyone out there from Sketchup that can help me get back to Campus and continue with my courses?
Have you cleared your browser caches and cookies?
I just tried signing in and I have no problem.
Hi DaveR,
I appreciate your efforts to try and help. I cleared the browserās cache and cookies. After that, at least I got a chance to enter my credentials at the SIGN IN page. However, once again, it was not successful.
At what URL are you signing in? I am trying to SIGN IN from this URL: https://learn.sketchup.com/
I also have an account under the same email address with different passwords for Sketchup Forum and at Trimble. I can now also not sign in there that is why I reply by email.
It is as if Sketchup is trying to create a new account for me with the same email address (although I am SIGNing IN and not create new account) and then comes back with the message: āValidation failed 3A Email has already been takenā.
Is there a way to delete all my accounts at Sketchup / Trimble and start again ?
Thanks
Johan Rothmann
Password managers tend to confuse the sign Up address with the Sign In address.
Best to type in manually learn.sketchup.com in the adress bar and use the password instead of using the password manager to go to the site.
I donāt get an opportunity to enter the password, whether it is manually or from password manager: after I click on SIGN IN, the next event is just the āValidation failed 3A Email has already been takenā message that appears in the browserās address bar.
Try to open an āincognitoā tab or āprivateā and type learn.sketchup.com
Thanks Mike - I did that and could enter my email address and password. The password was rejected, but I could request a RESET Password which I did. With the new credentials I was redirected to https://identity.trimble.com/trimble-identity/identity/login/ where the new password was accepted.
Then the following appeared - no option to get to Sketchup Campus:
How do I get to Sketchup Campus from here?
Just type learn.sketchup.com again in the address bar and you should be fine
Iām afraid not - it just would not accept my credentials.
But I did find a stupid work around:
I go to the learn sketchup com URL as you indicate (my reply would not allow me to enter URL here)
Scroll down and click on any available course to enroll.
When prompted to Create a new account, I click on āI already have an accountā
When I now enter my credentials, it is accepted and I can SIGN IN.
Clearly Trimble need to fix something around the confusing different SIGN IN URLās
Thank you for your efforts to help - much appreciated.
Hey Johan,
Iām glad you found the work-around. Iām aware of this issue on Campus, and I really donāt know why it persists. On my personal account, I have to do the same, sign in from an enrolled course, not the main page. Iām hoping weāll get this fixed in the near future, but in the interim, signing in from a course page should continue to work for you.
Cheers!
Thanks very much for posting this, had exactly the same problem today.
Cheers
Iām having the same problem. Has this ever been resolved? I canāt use the workaround either. I get the āValidation failedā address in the browser bar no matter where I enter the login information.
Hi John,
Please donāt double or triple or quadruple post. Also please look at the threads and read them before you post. This one you ressuected from the dead. It has been 4 years since the last post until you came along. It is highly likely that this is not the same issue you are dealing with.
