Begin from the conversation area
If you originally used a provider such as Google, do not assume an email-and-password option is the same route. Follow the labels shown by the account flow you are using.
- Open conversations or start from a companion profile.
- Choose the account option presented by the application.
- Complete any verification in that sign-in flow.
- Check the account identity and previous activity before making another purchase.
Match an unexpected balance to its account
Compare the current email or provider with the purchase receipt. A different signed-in identity is worth ruling out before reporting lost credits or a missing membership.
If the original method fails, record the visible error rather than repeatedly creating new accounts. Keep a receipt reference so support can identify the purchase without payment secrets.
Keep verification inside the login flow
Passwords and verification codes are not support-ticket details. Report the selected method, device, browser and error without sending the secret that would let someone enter the account.
On shared devices, sign out when finished. Before clearing site cookies, make sure you know which method you need to sign back in.
