How Do I Reactivate My SocialFlow Account?

1. Why your SocialFlow account was disabled

SocialFlow (Amplifier) accounts are automatically disabled after 90 days without a successful login. This is an automated nightly security process specific to the platform.

An administrator may also manually disable an account for security, offboarding, or organizational reasons.

2. Common symptoms of a disabled account

If your SocialFlow account is disabled, you may see one or more of the following:

3. Why a password reset alone won't work

Resetting or changing your password does not automatically re-enable a disabled account. A password reset updates your credentials, but it does not change the account's disabled status. To regain access, you must complete the reactivation process below.

4. How to reactivate your account

You have two options to reactivate your SocialFlow account.

4.1 Option 1: Contact Piano Support

Use this option if you don't know who your organization's administrator is or can't contact them directly.

1. Open a support request with Piano Support and include:

   • Your email address

   • The exact error message(s) you're seeing

   • Your environment (Production, Staging, or Sandbox)

   • An approximate timestamp of when you last successfully logged in

2. Copy (CC) your organization's Piano administrator on the support request.

3. Ask the administrator to explicitly confirm in their reply that your account should be reactivated.

4. Piano Support will reactivate your account once the administrator's authorization is received.

4.2 Option 2: Direct admin reactivation

This is the fastest option if you are an administrator or have direct access to the admin console.

1. Sign in to the Piano Admin Console with your administrator account.

2. Navigate to Settings → Admin → Users and Permissions.

3. Search for and open the user record that needs reactivation.

4. Find the Active status checkbox or toggle. In some versions, this may appear as an "account status" field.

5. Check the Active checkbox to re-enable the account.

6. Save your changes.

7. Have the user attempt to log in again, then proceed to the post-reactivation steps below.

5. Log in the same day after reactivation

If you don't log in promptly, the automated nightly inactivity process may disable your account again, and you'll need to repeat the reactivation steps.

6. Browser troubleshooting after reactivation

If you still see login errors after reactivation, try these steps:

1. Clear your browser cache and cookies for the Piano login site.

2. Hard refresh using Ctrl + F5 (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + R (macOS).

3. Try a private or incognito window to rule out cached sessions or interfering browser extensions.

4. Temporarily disable browser extensions, especially ad blockers and privacy tools.

5. Switch to a different browser if errors persist. Chrome is recommended.

6. If your organization uses SSO, confirm your email address matches exactly what your Identity Provider (IdP) expects, especially if your email was recently changed.

7. Two-factor authentication recovery

If you're blocked by 2FA after reactivation, follow the steps for your authentication method.

7.1 Google Authenticator

• Verify you're entering the correct 6-digit code from the Google Authenticator entry labeled "Piano."

• If the code is incorrect, remove the existing Piano entry from Google Authenticator and set up 2FA again after logging in.

7.2 SMS

• Request the SMS code option during login if your organization allows multiple delivery methods.

• If your phone number is wrong and you can't log in to update it, contact Piano Support. They can temporarily disable 2FA so you can sign in and reconfigure it.

7.3 If you need additional help

• If you can't access your 2FA codes and can't log in, contact Piano Support.

• An administrator can temporarily disable 2FA from the admin console to allow you to sign in and reconfigure it.

• Provide your email address and any backup codes you may have.

8. SSO-specific considerations

If your organization uses Single Sign-On (for example, Google Workspace, Microsoft Azure AD, or Okta), keep the following in mind:

• Reactivation is still required in Piano. Even with a working SSO login, your underlying SocialFlow account may remain disabled. Both reactivation methods above still apply.

• Email address alignment. Confirm that your email address matches exactly what your Identity Provider expects. If your email was recently changed in your organization's IdP, update it in Piano as well.

• SSO login still shows errors. If you successfully authenticate via your IdP but still can't access SocialFlow, the account may still be disabled. Use one of the reactivation methods above.

• Contact your IT department. If you're having trouble with SSO authentication itself, reach out to your organization's internal IT team. They manage your IdP configuration.

9. Preventing future deactivation

To avoid being locked out again, log in to SocialFlow (Amplifier) at least once every 90 days. Setting a recurring calendar reminder is a simple way to stay ahead of the automated inactivity process.

10. When to contact Piano Support

Reach out to Piano Support if:

• You don't know who your organization's administrator is. Support can help identify the correct contact.

• Your administrator can't access the admin console to reactivate your account (for example, they lack the required permissions).

• Your account appears to have been reactivated but you still can't log in, especially after clearing browser cache and trying alternate authentication methods.

• You're locked out due to 2FA and can't update your phone number. Support may temporarily disable 2FA.

• After reactivation, you can't access the correct organization or account. There may be a multi-organization access issue.

• Browser troubleshooting doesn't resolve the login issue. There may be a platform-level problem.
