Technical Queries

You can change your username by contacting our customer support team at trovehelp@oup.com

There are "Forgot your password?" links on the Personal Profile login page, and the Subscriber login area on the left of the homepage. Use these to recover or change your password.

There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to access the site. Firstly, check that you are typing your username and password correctly - remember they are case sensitive and should not include any spaces. You may want to try clearing your cache before attempting to login.

Your access could have also ceased due to end of your access period being reached, the concurrent user limit being exceeded or abuse being detected on your account.
