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.
If you are an applicant and unable to proceed past entering your recovery information, you have the option of claiming your account with the simplified claim process here:
https://netid.siu.edu/identity/self-service/siu/acctclaim.jsf?type=Applicant
Please note that using this claim process with leave you with NO recovery options for resetting your own password. Once you have claimed your account, you can log into your account at netid.siu.edu and attempt to enter in your recovery information again.
For more information about editing your recovery information please see https://oitkb.siu.edu/knowledge-base/how-to-update-your-recovery-information/
DUO Mobile Setup

Some users may have to setup their DUO mobile authentication during their account claim. If you need assistance with this, please see our DUO mobile article here: https://oitkb.siu.edu/knowledge-base/duo-mobile
