Unable to enter recovery information

Sometimes while trying to claim an account, users may run into an issue where the system is unable to send a PIN code to verify your recovery information. If this happens, please try to enter in one type of recovery information at a time.
Example: Student tries to enter in a recovery phone number and email, but receives “unable to send pin code” error. The student would then try to enter only the phone number or the email, not both.
