Logins, Passwords and Data recovery

Logins, Passwords and Data recovery

  1. 1. I can’t log in to the Client Portal.

  2. When you log in to the Client Portal using your login and password (not social networks), check if you type the correct information in the following fields:
    • Login – your e-mail registered with  FXOpen;
    • Password – FXOpen account password. (Сase sensitive! Please, keep the lowercase and uppercase letters).

    If this data is correct, you might have set an IP filter (on the Settings/Profile  Security  IP Access List page).
    The IP filter allows access to the  Client Portal only from the specified IP addresses. It’s a good security measure if you have a static IP address. But if your IP address is dynamic (or you are not sure about its type), please DO NOT add your IP filter to the White list of addresses!
    To switch off the IP-filter, please send a request to Customer Support or contact our Live Chat:  FXOpen Live Chat (FXOpen Markets Ltd),  FXOpen AU Live Chat (FXOpen AUS),  FXOpen UK Live Chat (FXOpen UK), and  FXOpen EU Live Chat (FXOpen EU).


  3. 2. I can’t log in to the MetaTrader.

  4. Click  File → Login to Trade Account  in the  MetaTrader. Check if you type the correct information in the following fields:
    1. Login – trading account number.
    • Password – Trader’s password (Сase sensitive! Please keep the lowercase and uppercase letters). To avoid any mistakes, we recommend to copy and paste your Trader's password from the registration e-mail;
    • Server. You will see the drop down list with all  FXOpen  servers. Please, select the server that was stated in the registration e-mail. If the server that was recommended to you is not in the list, type the server name as in the registration e-mail (for example - real3.fxopen.com:443). If you haven’t saved this e-mail message, please use our Live Chat or send an e-mail to Customer Support  and ask which server should be used with your account.
      You can find all the required contacts in the ABOUT US > Contact Us section on the company's website.

    Your account may have been put to archive because you haven’t logged in it for 90 days or more (MetaTrader  logins). In this case you may:

    • open a new account with a different e-mail address;
    • e-mail a request to activate your account (mention the account number) to Customer Support service. The account will be made active again within 24 hours.
