If you receive an "Invalid Account" or "Authorization Failed" error when logging into MT4/MT5, it can be caused by one or more of the following:

1. Verify your login ID (account number)

  • Ensure you are entering the correct MT4/MT5 account number.

  • You can find it in your original account in the Client Portal.

2. Verify your password

  • Make sure you are entering the correct password (passwords are case-sensitive).

  • If you have forgotten your password, reset it through the Client Portal.

  • If you know your current password, you can change it from the MT4/MT5 desktop platform:

    • Open the MT4/MT5 desktop platform and navigate to the top menu.

    • Click ToolsOptions (or press Ctrl + O).

    • Go to the Server tab and click Change next to the password field.

    • Enter your Current Password.

    • Select the Change master password option.

    • Enter and confirm your New Password, then click OK

3. Verify you are using the correct server

If your login details are correct, confirm that you have selected the correct trading server.
