  2. Invalid Login page prompts for the user. 
  3. Check the username and login name and it matches, the user also have login permissions, and used the correct URL.

  1. Go to Manage Login Accounts tool .

  3. In there, you'll notice that the login name of the user is either blank or incorrect - causing the issue when logging in. 
  4. To edit, click the Edit Details under the Action column. 
  5. On the pop up dialog box, put the correct login name for the affected user.
