This will take you to the password reset page, where you will be prompted to enter your email address. Follow the instructions provided to reset your password and regain access to your account.

I have login issues! Help anyone?

If you're having trouble logging into your account, here are a few steps you can follow:

  1. Check if the caps lock key on your keyboard is activated when you don't need it, as this can cause login failures.
  2. Make sure the keyboard layout and system language on your computer match the language you used when creating your account. This can affect the characters that you type and prevent successful login attempts.
  3. If you're still having issues logging in, try visiting the ZEISS self-service portal and attempting to log in there. If you're unable to log in there as well, please contact general ZEISS support for further assistance.
  4. Once you successfully log in to the customer self-service portal, navigate to the My Applications section, find the arivis Cloud field, click the three dots in the upper right corner, and select Contact. This will open a contact form in which you can explain your issue and send it directly to our support team. We will process your request and contact you as soon as possible to help resolve the issue.
