Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question

Answer

I don't see the password reset email. What should I do?

If you are having trouble finding the email, note that it is coming from hello@muckrack.com and has a subject of “Password reset on Muck Rack.” It should arrive in less than a minute from the time you submit your reset request.

I'm locked out of my account. What do I do?

Please reach out to our support team using the chat widget in the bottom right-hand corner via the 'Send us a message' option or send an email to support@muckrack.com.

I don't want to pay for an authentication app; can you just email a code to log in?

Most authentication apps are free. If you're encountering any app requiring a fee, we recommend not using it and instead using Google Authenticator or Authy.

See our Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) article for more information on the different authentication methods available.

If it doesn't allow you to change apps, please reach out to our support team using the chat widget in the bottom right-hand corner via the 'Send us a message' option or send an email to support@muckrack.com.

How do I enable Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Muck Rack offers Single Sign-On (SSO) for select, approved customers. If you are interested in enabling SSO, please reach out to your account manager. You can also find more information on configuring SSO with Microsoft or Okta in the dedicated articles below:

After SSO is enabled, if you require any assistance with it, please reach out to Customer Support by choosing the chat icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and selecting Messages > Send us a message or sending an email to support@muckrack.com.

What is two-factor authentication (2FA)?

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your Muck Rack account. It requires anyone who tries to log into your account to have your email address, your password, and a one-time code sent to or available from your mobile device.

How do I set up two-factor authentication (2FA)?

You can choose to set up two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA or MFA) either via an authentication app (popular ones are Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy) or via text message.

See our Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) article for more information.

I'm not receiving the two-factor authentication (2FA) code. What do I do?

First, in your authentication app:

  1. Select Previous to return one step

  2. Re-enter your phone number and proceed to send the code again.

If you are still unable to retrieve the authentication code for any reason, we can assist by resetting the 2FA on your account. You will then be prompted to set up a new method to use the next time you log in.

Please reach out to our support team using the chat widget in the bottom right-hand corner via the 'Send us a message' option or send an email to support@muckrack.com for assistance.

Why does Muck Rack require two-factor authentication (2FA)?

We require enabling two-factor authentication on your Muck Rack account because requiring a physical device and password increases your account’s security exponentially.
