3.1 Overview

This chapter explains how users access AIUNIFY PROS SUITE and recover access when authentication cannot be completed normally.

It covers:

  1. Signing in
  2. Email and Password validation
  3. Show/Hide Password
  4. Remember me
  5. Successful and failed Sign In
  6. Required Email Verification
  7. Resending a verification Email
  8. Completing Email Verification
  9. Expired or failed verification links
  10. Two-Factor Authentication during Sign In
  11. Recovery Codes
  12. Forgot Password
  13. Password-reset OTP
  14. Resending an OTP
  15. Setting a new Password
  16. Returning to Login after recovery
  17. Common authentication problems
  18. Account-access security best practices

The standard authentication path is:

PROS SUITE → Email + Password → Email Verification if Required → 2FA if Enabled → Dashboard

The Password Recovery path is:

Forgot password? → Email → Reset OTP → Verify Code → New Password → Return to Login

3.2 Accessing the Sign In Screen

Open:

suite.poweredbyaiunify.com

The Sign In screen identifies the application as:

AIUNIFY Suite

with the description:

“Access your complete AI-powered business toolkit from one centralized workspace.”

The Sign In form is the primary authentication entry point for existing users.

3.3 Information Required to Sign In

The standard Sign In form requires:

  1. Email address
  2. Password

It also provides:

  1. Show / Hide
  2. Remember me
  3. Forgot password?
  4. Log in


3.4 Email Address Requirements

The Email field cannot be empty.

If no Email is entered, PROS SUITE validates it with:

Email is required

The value must also be recognized as an Email address; otherwise the validation message is:

Invalid email address.

Enter the Email address associated with your PROS SUITE account.

3.5 Password Requirement

The Password field is also required.

Submitting the Sign In form without a Password produces:

Password is required.

Password matching is case-sensitive, so enter it exactly as originally created or most recently reset.

3.6 Showing or Hiding Your Password

The Password field includes a visibility control.

When the Password is hidden, select:

Show

to reveal what you entered.

When visible, select:

Hide

to conceal it again.

This can help identify typing mistakes before submitting the Sign In form.

3.7 Using Remember Me

The Sign In screen contains:

Remember me.

Important current-version note

Although this checkbox is present in the user interface, the included PROS SUITE user-facing source does not establish a specific session duration for this option, nor does the visible Login request demonstrate the checkbox being passed into the authentication request. The Login request shown in the source sends Email, Password, and applicable security-verification information.

Therefore, this manual does not claim that selecting Remember me guarantees a specific number of days of persistent access.

Do not rely on it as a substitute for securely maintaining your login credentials.

3.8 When to Avoid Remember Me

As a security best practice, avoid selecting Remember me on:

  1. Public computers
  2. Shared office workstations
  3. Hotel or business-center computers
  4. Borrowed devices
  5. Devices accessible to people who should not have access to your PROS SUITE account

When working on a shared device, always use Log out when finished.

3.9 Signing In Step by Step

To sign in:

  1. Open AIUNIFY PROS SUITE.
  2. Locate Email address.
  3. Enter your registered Email.
  4. Locate Password.
  5. Enter your Password.
  6. Use Show if you need to inspect what you typed.
  7. Select Remember me only if appropriate.
  8. Select Log in.
  9. Complete Email Verification or Two-Factor Authentication if requested.
  10. After successful authentication, proceed to the Dashboard.

While the request is processing, the button displays:

Signing in...

3.10 Successful Sign In

When authentication succeeds without requiring an additional security step, PROS SUITE displays:

Welcome back!

and:

Successfully logged in.

A normal user is then directed to:

Dashboard

The source routes ordinary users to /dashboard after successful authentication.

3.11 The Complete Authentication Decision Path

Submitting the Sign In form does not always mean you immediately reach the Dashboard.

PROS SUITE can respond in several ways:

Email + Password

Credentials accepted and no additional verification

Dashboard

Two-Factor Authentication enabled

Two-Factor Authentication

→ Verify

Dashboard

Email not yet verified

Verify Your Email

→ Verify Email

→ Return to Login

Dashboard

Credentials rejected

Login failed

Password forgotten

Forgot password?

→ OTP Recovery

→ New Password

→ Login

This branching behavior is built directly into the current authentication workflow.

3.12 Failed Sign In

If credentials are not accepted and Email Verification is not the issue, PROS SUITE displays:

Login failed

The message underneath can contain the specific error returned by the authentication system or fall back to:

Invalid credentials.

3.13 If Sign In Produces a General Error

If the authentication process encounters another failure, the Login interface can display:

Error

with:

“Something went wrong. Please try again.”

This is different from an explicit invalid-credentials response.

If this occurs:

  1. Confirm your internet connection.
  2. Verify the Email and Password.
  3. Try submitting once more.
  4. If the Password may be wrong, use Forgot password?
  5. If the problem persists, contact the appropriate AIUNIFY support channel.

3.14 Email Verification

PROS SUITE can require a user's Email address to be verified before access is granted.

If the Login response indicates that verification is required, the normal Login form is replaced by:

Verify Your Email

with the message:

“You must verify your email address to log in. Please check your inbox for a verification link.”

3.15 Why Email Verification Appears During Login

Email Verification is an account-security step.

If the account exists but its Email address has not completed the required verification process, valid credentials alone may not be sufficient to enter PROS SUITE.

The Login workflow recognizes this condition separately from invalid credentials and moves the user into the Email Verification state.

3.16 What to Do When You See Verify Your Email

When the Verify Your Email screen appears:

  1. Open the inbox associated with your PROS SUITE Email address.
  2. Find the AIUNIFY verification Email.
  3. Open the Email.
  4. Select the verification button/link.
  5. Allow the verification page to validate the request.
  6. When verification succeeds, select Continue to Login.
  7. Sign in again using your Email and Password.

3.17 The Verification Email

The verification message contains a button labeled:

Verify Email Address

The Email also provides the verification URL as a fallback if the button does not work.

This provides two ways to complete verification:

Method 1 — Select Verify Email Address

or:

Method 2 — Copy the provided verification link into your browser

3.18 Verification Complete

When the verification request is successful, the verification page displays:

Verification Complete

and the success message returned by the service, with a fallback of:

Email verified successfully!

The page then provides:

Continue to Login.

3.19 Email Verification Does Not Automatically Replace Login

After verification completes, PROS SUITE provides:

Continue to Login

rather than treating the verification link itself as the normal authenticated Suite session.

The recommended sequence is therefore:

Verify Email → Continue to Login → Enter Credentials → Complete 2FA if Applicable → Dashboard

3.20 Verification Failed

A verification link can fail.

When this occurs, the Email Verification page displays:

Verification Failed.

The actual error information returned by the service is displayed beneath it.

One potential reason identified by the interface is an expired verification link.

3.21 Resending a Failed Verification Link

When verification fails, the page provides:

Resend Verification Email

with the explanation:

“If your link has expired, enter your email below to request a new verification link.”

To request another link:

  1. Enter your Email address.
  2. Select Send New Link.
  3. Open the new message.
  4. Use the newest verification link.
  5. Complete verification.
  6. Return to Login.

3.22 Resending Verification from the Login Screen

You can also request a replacement verification Email directly from the Login verification state.

Select:

Resend Verification Email

While processing, the control displays:

Sending....

When successful, the Login screen confirms:

A new verification link has been sent!

3.23 Verification Sent Confirmation

When PROS SUITE successfully accepts the resend request, it can display:

Verification Sent

with:

“A new verification link has been sent to your email.”

Use the newest verification Email when several verification messages are present.

3.24 Returning from Email Verification to Sign In

The Email Verification state also includes:

Back to Sign In.

Use this if:

  1. You already completed verification in another browser tab.
  2. You want to retry Sign In.
  3. You need to correct the Email address.
  4. You no longer want to request another verification Email.

3.25 If the Verification Email Does Not Arrive

If you do not see the verification message:

  1. Verify that the Email address entered is correct.
  2. Check Spam or Junk folders.
  3. Search your inbox for AIUNIFY.
  4. Allow normal Email-delivery time.
  5. Return to Verify Your Email.
  6. Select Resend Verification Email once.
  7. Use the newest link that arrives.

Avoid repeatedly requesting several links in rapid succession, because doing so can make it harder to identify the newest valid message.

3.26 Two-Factor Authentication During Sign In

If Two-Factor Authentication is enabled for the account, valid Email and Password credentials do not immediately complete authentication.

PROS SUITE instead responds with a temporary verification session and displays:

Two-Factor Authentication.

The Login screen notifies the user:

Two-Factor Required

“Please enter your authentication code.”

3.27 Entering Your Authenticator Code

The 2FA screen instructs:

“Open your authenticator app and enter the 6-digit security code.”

To complete Sign In:

  1. Open the authenticator application previously connected to PROS SUITE.
  2. Locate the PROS SUITE account entry.
  3. Read the current 6-digit code.
  4. Enter all six digits into PROS SUITE.
  5. PROS SUITE automatically attempts verification when six digits have been entered.
  6. If successful, you are signed in.

The six-digit code auto-submits once complete.

3.28 Successful Two-Factor Verification

When the Two-Factor code is accepted, PROS SUITE completes authentication, refreshes the authenticated user state, and proceeds into the account.

For a standard user, the Login workflow then sends the user to:

Dashboard.

3.29 Two-Factor Verification Session Time Limit

The current 2FA Sign In screen starts a:

5-minute verification session

and displays:

Code expires in [time].

If that verification session reaches zero, PROS SUITE displays:

“Verification session expired. Please log in again.”

3.30 What to Do if the 2FA Session Expires

If you see:

Verification session expired. Please log in again.

  1. Select Back to Login.
  2. Enter your Email and Password again.
  3. Reach the new Two-Factor Verification screen.
  4. Open your authenticator app.
  5. Enter the currently displayed code.

Do not continue using an old code from the expired verification session.

3.31 Two-Factor Recovery Codes

If you cannot access your authenticator application, the Sign In verification interface also provides:

Use a recovery code instead.

This switches the interface from normal authenticator verification to:

Two-Factor Recovery.

3.32 Entering a Recovery Code

The recovery interface instructs:

“Enter one of your 8-character recovery codes (format: XXXX-XXXX).”

Enter the Recovery Code and select:

Verify Recovery Code.

Recovery Codes are created as part of the Two-Factor Authentication setup process covered in Chapter 4.

3.33 Switching Back to the Authenticator App

After selecting Recovery Code mode, PROS SUITE provides:

Use authenticator app instead.

Use this if you regain access to your authenticator application and want to enter the normal six-digit security code instead.

3.34 Returning from Two-Factor Verification to Login

The Two-Factor screen includes:

Back to Login.

Selecting it cancels the current Two-Factor step and returns you to the normal Sign In process.

3.35 If a Two-Factor Code Is Rejected

If verification fails, the Two-Factor screen displays the error returned by the verification process.

For normal authenticator codes, the currently entered code is cleared after failure so another code can be entered.

Try the following:

  1. Open the authenticator app again.
  2. Wait for a fresh code if the current one is about to change.
  3. Enter all six digits.
  4. Make sure you are using the correct account entry.
  5. If the authenticator is unavailable, use a Recovery Code.
  6. If the verification session expires, start Login again.

3.36 Forgot Password?

If you cannot remember your Password, return to the Sign In screen and select:

Forgot password?

PROS SUITE opens its dedicated Password Recovery workflow.

3.37 Password Recovery Has Four Stages

The current recovery interface is organized into four states:

  1. EMAIL
  2. OTP
  3. RESET
  4. SUCCESS


For users, this translates to:

Enter Email → Verify OTP → Set New Password → Password Reset Complete

3.38 Step 1 — Enter Your Email Address

The Password Recovery screen begins with:

Forgot Password

and:

“Enter your email address and we'll send you an OTP to reset your password.”

Enter your registered:

Email address

and select:

Send Reset OTP.

3.39 Password Recovery Email Validation

The recovery Email field requires:

  1. A value
  2. A valid Email format

The validation messages are:

Email is required

and:

Invalid email address.

3.40 OTP Sent

When the Reset OTP request succeeds, PROS SUITE displays:

OTP Sent

with:

“If an account exists, an OTP has been sent to your email.”

Notice the wording:

If an account exists

The interface intentionally does not confirm on this screen whether a particular Email address corresponds to an account.

3.41 Step 2 — Check Your Email

The next screen displays:

Check your email

and:

“We've sent a 6-digit verification code to [Email].”

Retrieve the code from the Email message.

3.42 Entering the Password-Reset OTP

Locate:

Verification Code

The form provides six OTP positions.

Enter the entire six-digit code and select:

Verify Code.

The button remains unavailable until the required six-character OTP has been entered.

3.43 OTP Length Requirement

The Password Recovery form requires a six-character verification code.

If the requirement is not met, the validation message is:

Verification code must be 6 digits.

3.44 OTP Verified

When the OTP is accepted, PROS SUITE displays:

OTP Verified

with:

“You can now reset your password.”

The system then advances to:

Set new password

3.45 Invalid or Expired OTP

If the code is rejected, PROS SUITE displays:

Invalid OTP

and either the returned error or the fallback:

“The OTP provided is incorrect or expired.”

The field can also display:

Invalid OTP provided.

3.46 If the OTP Does Not Arrive

The OTP screen provides:

Didn't receive the code? Resend.

Select it to request another code.

When the resend succeeds, PROS SUITE displays:

OTP Resent

with:

“A new OTP has been sent to your email.”

Use the newly received code.

3.47 Recommended OTP Resend Procedure

If no code appears:

  1. Check the Email address shown on the OTP screen.
  2. Check Spam/Junk.
  3. Wait for normal Email delivery.
  4. Select Didn't receive the code? Resend.
  5. Look for the newest OTP Email.
  6. Enter the newest six-digit code.
  7. Select Verify Code.

If a previously received OTP is rejected as expired, request a new one.

3.48 Step 3 — Set a New Password

After the OTP is verified, the screen displays:

Set new password

and:

“Please enter your new password below.”

The form contains:

  1. New Password
  2. Confirm Password
  3. Reset Password


3.49 Minimum Password Length

The current Password Recovery form requires the New Password to contain at least:

6 characters

If it is shorter, PROS SUITE displays:

Password must be at least 6 characters.

This is the verified minimum enforced by the current user-facing reset form.

3.50 Confirm Password

The Confirm Password field is required.

If left empty:

Confirm password is required

If it does not match the New Password:

Passwords do not match.

Both entries must match before the reset can be successfully submitted.

3.51 Viewing Your New Password During Reset

Both:

  1. New Password
  2. Confirm Password

contain visibility controls.

You can temporarily reveal either value to verify that both Password entries match before submitting.

3.52 Choosing a Stronger Password

Although the current reset form verifies a minimum of six characters, a longer and unique Password is recommended for better account security.

A strong Password should preferably:

  1. Be unique to PROS SUITE.
  2. Be longer than the minimum.
  3. Avoid obvious personal information.
  4. Avoid reuse from another service.
  5. Be stored in a reputable password manager when appropriate.

The six-character value is the current form minimum, not a recommendation for ideal security.

3.53 Resetting the Password

After entering matching Password values:

  1. Review New Password.
  2. Review Confirm Password.
  3. Ensure they match.
  4. Select Reset Password.

PROS SUITE submits the verified Email, OTP, and new Password through the recovery flow.

3.54 Successful Password Reset

When successful, PROS SUITE displays:

Success

with:

“Your password has been reset successfully.”

The final recovery screen then displays:

Password Reset!

and:

“Your password has been changed successfully. You can now use your new password to log in.”

3.55 Returning to Login

After a successful reset, select:

Return to Login.

Then:

  1. Enter your Email address.
  2. Enter the new Password.
  3. Select Log in.
  4. Complete Email Verification if required.
  5. Complete Two-Factor Authentication if enabled.
  6. Continue to Dashboard.

3.56 Back to Login During Password Recovery

Before the Password-reset process is complete, the recovery interface provides:

Back to Login.

Use this if:

  1. You remember your Password.
  2. You started recovery by mistake.
  3. You want to return to normal authentication.
  4. You need to restart the process.

3.57 Password Recovery Workflow

The complete Password Recovery sequence is:

Login

Forgot password?

Forgot Password

Enter Email address

Send Reset OTP

Check your email

Enter 6-Digit Verification Code

Verify Code

OTP Verified

Set new password

New Password + Confirm Password

Reset Password

Password Reset!

Return to Login

Sign In with New Password

3.58 Email Verification vs. Password-Reset OTP

These are two different processes.

ProcessPurposeWhat You Receive
Email VerificationConfirms ownership of the account EmailVerification link
Password RecoveryAllows creation of a new Password6-digit OTP
Two-Factor AuthenticationConfirms second authentication factor6-digit authenticator code or Recovery Code

Do not confuse one verification method with another.

3.59 Email Verification Link vs. Reset OTP

For Email Verification, use the verification link sent to your Email.

For Forgot Password, enter the six-digit OTP into the recovery screen.

A Password-reset OTP should not be entered into the normal Email Verification link flow, and an Email Verification link is not the Password-reset OTP.

3.60 Password-Reset OTP vs. 2FA Code

Both may contain six digits, but they serve different purposes.

Password-Reset OTP

Delivered through the Forgot Password process and used to authorize setting a new Password.

Two-Factor Authentication Code

Generated by the authenticator application and used after Email + Password authentication when 2FA is enabled.

The Two-Factor interface can alternatively accept one of the account's Recovery Codes.

3.61 Troubleshooting — Email Is Rejected Before Sign In

If you see:

Email is required

enter an Email address.

If you see:

Invalid email address

check the Email format.

The Sign In form performs both validations before authentication.

3.62 Troubleshooting — Password Is Required

If:

Password is required

appears:

  1. Enter the Password.
  2. Use Show if you need to verify your typing.
  3. Submit again.

If you do not know the Password, do not repeatedly guess. Select:

Forgot password?

3.63 Troubleshooting — Login Failed

If you see:

Login failed

check:

  1. Correct Email
  2. Correct Password
  3. Capitalization
  4. Accidental spaces
  5. Whether you recently changed the Password
  6. Whether you are using an old saved Password

If you cannot confidently identify the correct Password, use the Password Recovery workflow.

3.64 Troubleshooting — Verify Your Email Appears

If PROS SUITE says:

You must verify your email address to log in

then Password Recovery is not necessarily the problem.

Instead:

  1. Check your Email.
  2. Use the verification link.
  3. If needed, select Resend Verification Email.
  4. Complete verification.
  5. Select Continue to Login.
  6. Sign in again.


3.65 Troubleshooting — Verification Link Expired

If the verification page displays:

Verification Failed

and the link appears to have expired:

  1. Enter your Email under Resend Verification Email.
  2. Select Send New Link.
  3. Use the newest Email.
  4. Complete verification.

The failed-verification page explicitly supports this recovery path.

3.66 Troubleshooting — No Password-Reset OTP

If the Password-reset OTP does not arrive:

  1. Check the displayed Email address.
  2. Check Spam/Junk.
  3. Search for AIUNIFY messages.
  4. Select Didn't receive the code? Resend.
  5. Use the newest OTP.

The current recovery interface supports OTP resend directly from the code-entry screen.

3.67 Troubleshooting — Invalid OTP

If you receive:

Invalid OTP

or:

The OTP provided is incorrect or expired

request another OTP and use the newest code.

Do not keep trying an explicitly expired code.

3.68 Troubleshooting — New Password Rejected

Check whether:

  1. The Password contains at least six characters.
  2. Confirm Password has been completed.
  3. Both Password values match.

The exact validation rules are:

Password must be at least 6 characters

Confirm password is required

Passwords do not match.

3.69 Troubleshooting — New Password Works but 2FA Still Appears

This can be expected.

Changing your Password does not mean Two-Factor Authentication has been removed.

If 2FA is enabled, the normal sequence remains:

Email + New Password → 2FA → Dashboard

Use the authenticator application or one of your valid Recovery Codes.

3.70 Troubleshooting — Authenticator App Is Unavailable

At the Two-Factor screen, select:

Use a recovery code instead.

Enter one of the Recovery Codes generated when 2FA was configured.

If you have neither your authenticator application nor a valid Recovery Code, normal self-service 2FA verification cannot be completed through the user-facing flow documented in this source. You will need the appropriate AIUNIFY account-support process.

3.71 Troubleshooting — 2FA Session Expired

If you see:

Verification session expired. Please log in again.

return to Login and start a new authentication attempt.

The current Two-Factor verification screen provides a five-minute verification window.

3.72 Troubleshooting — Connection Error During Verification

The Email Verification page can display:

Connection error. Please try again.

If this occurs:

  1. Confirm your network connection.
  2. Reload the verification link once.
  3. If the link subsequently fails, request a new verification Email.
  4. Use the newest link.

3.73 Authentication Security Best Practices

For safer PROS SUITE access:

  1. Use a unique Password.
  2. Prefer a Password longer than the required minimum.
  3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
  4. Securely retain your Recovery Codes.
  5. Do not share authenticator codes.
  6. Do not share Password-reset OTPs.
  7. Do not forward verification Emails to unauthorized people.
  8. Do not leave a signed-in account unattended on shared devices.
  9. Log out after using a shared computer.
  10. Verify that you are accessing the correct PROS SUITE domain before entering credentials.

3.74 Protecting Verification Codes

Treat the following as sensitive authentication information:

  1. Passwords
  2. Password-reset OTPs
  3. 2FA authenticator codes
  4. 2FA Recovery Codes
  5. Email Verification links

These credentials or links can participate in account-access workflows and should not be posted publicly, placed in screenshots, or sent to unauthorized people.

3.75 Understanding the Three Authentication Factors

PROS SUITE can involve three different forms of proof:

Something You Know

Your Password

Something You Control

Your verified Email account

Something You Possess

Your configured Authenticator app or Recovery Codes

Used together, these create a stronger account-access process than Password-only authentication.

3.76 Recommended Authentication Workflow

For normal use:

Open PROS SUITE

Email address

Password

Log in

If needed:

Verify Your Email

If enabled:

Two-Factor Authentication

Dashboard

If the Password is forgotten:

Forgot password?

Email

OTP

New Password

Return to Login

2FA if Enabled

Dashboard

3.77 Account Recovery Checklist

If you cannot access PROS SUITE, work through this checklist in order:

  1. Confirm the correct PROS SUITE URL.
  2. Confirm your Email address.
  3. Confirm the Password.
  4. Use Show to check Password typing if needed.
  5. Check whether the screen says Verify Your Email.
  6. Resend Email Verification if necessary.
  7. Complete Two-Factor Authentication if requested.
  8. Use a Recovery Code if your authenticator application is unavailable.
  9. If the Password is unknown, select Forgot password?
  10. Enter the registered Email.
  11. Select Send Reset OTP.
  12. Enter the six-digit OTP.
  13. Select Verify Code.
  14. Enter matching New Password values.
  15. Select Reset Password.
  16. Select Return to Login.
  17. Sign in with the new Password.
  18. Complete 2FA if enabled.
  19. Confirm that the Dashboard opens successfully.

3.78 What This Chapter Does Not Cover

This chapter explains how to use Two-Factor Authentication during Sign In.

It does not yet cover how to:

  1. Enable 2FA
  2. Scan the QR code
  3. Store the 2FA secret
  4. Verify the initial setup
  5. Generate Recovery Codes
  6. Regenerate Recovery Codes
  7. Disable 2FA

Those account-security controls are covered in the next chapter.

3.79 Chapter Summary

AIUNIFY PROS SUITE uses a layered authentication process.

The normal path is:

Email + Password → Additional Verification if Required → Dashboard

The Sign In screen requires a valid Email format and a Password and provides Show/Hide, Remember me, and Forgot password? controls.

If Email Verification is required:

Verify Your Email → Verification Link → Verification Complete → Continue to Login.

If Two-Factor Authentication is enabled:

Password Accepted → 6-Digit Authenticator Code or Recovery Code → Dashboard.

If the Password is forgotten:

Forgot Password → Send Reset OTP → Verify 6-Digit Code → Set New Password → Return to Login.

Understanding which authentication state you are currently seeing—Login Failed, Verify Your Email, Two-Factor Authentication, or Forgot Password—is the key to choosing the correct recovery action.
