System Requirements
Before making any of the changes suggested in the following troubleshooting procedures, please ensure you are running one of the following supported browsers:
- Chrome 63.0+
- Firefox 57.0+
- Internet Explorer (IE) 11.0+, Edge
- Safari 11.0+
Beta versions of these browsers are not supported.
Additional system requirements:
You receive a message saying your username or password is invalid.
Please check that you are using the proper username given to you by your Portfolio Manager. We find that sometimes when clients believe they may have forgotten their password, it is actually their username that they have entered incorrectly. We offer clients who routinely access the Client Centre from the same device a "Remember my username" option on the Login page.
Passwords cannot be reset automatically online. If you have forgotten or lost your password, you will need to request a new password.
Please note that you will never be contacted by anyone other than your Portfolio Manager to discuss the sensitive details of your account, such as your username and password. Remember, if it seems suspicious, we are only a phone call away. Contact your Portfolio Manager.

You are automatically logged out or "timed out" after a period of time.
This is a security feature of the Odlum Brown USA Client Centre to prevent unauthorized access to your account if it was left open. After a certain amount of inactivity, you will be logged out of your session automatically and taken to the "Session Expired" page.
You may also see the "Session Expired" page in situations where the server has somehow lost contact with you, even if you are actively using the Client Centre. Momentary connection issues occasionally happen on the internet. This feature is designed to help safeguard your security by ensuring that if the server can no longer be sure with whom it is communicating, it will close the connection.
