    MyGov .... is it the crappiest website ever ?

    So I just try to login for the covid app on my phone as apparently you have to do that ...hmmm.... Try for 10minutes and give up.

    Try from laptop .... it keeps denying password, then warns me it'll lock the account if I try to more times and prompts me to change password.

    Change password.... I set it back to what I'm positive it is .... "You cannot re-use htis password, it has been used before " ...... AAARRRRRhhhhhhhhh

    enter new password, try to login with new password.... it doesn't want to work either. "You have been locked out, account dissabled, you must create a new account" ....... AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



    ......



    Deep breaths.... Don't smash PC .... its not the PCs fault.

    "create new account" ...... We have sent you an email to create new account .... please enter number.....










    I'm still waiting for the email. It's been 20minutes now. Guess I'll not bother with the covid certificate bull**** or whatever they want. It's just not worth the aggravation.

    What gets me more than anything is the morons that think "the goverment is tracking them" with 5g ... or the covid immunasation being just a way for hte government to control you.... Talk about bloody fruitloops. The government can't even get the simplest of stuff working. Not even a simple website .... But yeah, your imunisation is all about using "nano technology" to control your thoughts

    I share your pain with the MyGov site. It is horrendous.

    The website is obviously not working properly. Rather than saying "please try again later", its allowing you to both retry logging in and allows you to change the password. But will not actually allow you to login. It just cycles through the retry attempts until it locks the account permanently.

    My wife said "I'll try mine then" ....... AAARRRhhhhhhh.... NO WAY, don't llock yours out as well. The website is obviously having issues

    I’ve had mixed results. It’s been fine up until recently but when I went back to check something on the ATO I found it had unlinked itself for some reason. I called the ATO and they said it had never been linked. When I showed them some details I’d already got from it they said it had been linked but not sure why it had unlinked. Asked them for a linking code but I couldn’t prove who I was to them so they refused…

    So I still don’t have the ATO linked even though it was previously… MyGov .... is it the crappiest website ever ?
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    It is a PITA. If you put MYGOVID on your phone it does allow you to sign in via finger print if your phone supports that. MYGOVID also enables passwordless log on to mygov pita site.

    I'ved helped hundreds at work with it- Security is needed yet I feel your pain every time someone comes near me with the guide to getting their covid certificate and a blank look on their face


    some -not all- You Tube guides are well worth watching.

    Once you have your myGov sorted....to link your vaccination certificate to service Vic app:

    How to add your COVID-19 digital certificate to Service Victoria app through myGov - YouTube

    Took me a while to work it out too....then I found the instructions!

    Flamin' "computers", they will never catch on. Just a passing fad.

    Garry, you're used to things (even roads) going round in circles in the ACT.

    I'm not new to this ... I've been using mygov for years for etax etc.... I'm also a computer programmer with 25years experience and am logging in and out of various systems everyday of my life. Be buggered it mygov would work for me tonight though. I'm guessing its not emailing me as my email address is already used. So now I'll need to try and create a new email address somewhere to get out of the "endless aggravation" loop that is mygov.

    the security questions aren't as simple as you would think either and will almost always get them wrong. eg: what was your first car when you got you license .... Hmm, I had a few ... um. I wonder what i put in ....

    I bet I used "Renault 15" ...... Oh wait, would I have typed "renault 15" or "Renault 15" ..... er ..... Oh ****, we i have entered "Renault 15... or renault 15, or renault fifteen .... or maybe Renault Fifteen ....


    Think about it a bit more ..... Um.... I could have actually entered

    renault 15
    renault 15ts
    renault 15TS
    renaul 15 TS
    renault 15 ts
    Renault 15
    Renault 15TS
    Renault Fifteen ..... if you make all the combinations here. I could have entered any one of about 30 different answers that are actually the same for the same car


    Same deal for the "what street were you born in" or whatever the question is. lets see:

    15 smith street
    15 Smith Street
    15 Smith street
    15 smith Street
    15 Smith St
    15 smith st
    etc, etc..

    so the security questions can be almost impossible.
