 * [@ashley_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashley_c/) Hi,
 * Hope you are doing good.
 * Please share more details about your issue.
 * Which Mailing socket you are using ? can you share a screenshot of the screen
   where you are stuck?
 * Also, you can use your email on the username field and your email pass on the
   password field and test it.
 * Thanks
