Let’s get started.

1. Ensure Strong Internet Connectivity

For accessing any website on the web browser you are required to have strong internet connectivity. In order to check the status of it, go to “https://fast.com/” and check what speed you are getting. Alternatively, you may go to a web browser and enter the name of any random website. Later, check whether the website is loading properly or not. If it is taking time to respond or not loading at all, surely internet connectivity at your end is quite poor.

To resolve it, you should contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and ask them to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Also, at your end, you may try checking whether all the cables are connected properly or not (If using the modem for the internet).

2. Check CenturyLink Outage

If the issue does not lie with internet connectivity in your case, you may check the status of the CenturyLink email’s server. To check the status of it go to “https://downdetector.com/” and enter “Centurylink” in the given textbox. Later, you will get to see the report of it, stating whether it is down or not. If it is down, nothing can be done from your end, as it is the responsibility of the server admin to keep it functioning. In the opposite case, you may move to the next solution.

3. Check Password

It might be possible that the password you are entering to log in to the CenturyLink webmail is incorrect or you are entering an old password. If it is so, you should recheck the password before entering it in the textbox. Also, if your password is case-sensitive, you should check the caps lock while entering it.

It might also be possible that you have forgotten the password. In this case, you should try recovering it using the “forgot password” link.

4. Disable Security Application

Do you have an antivirus installed on your computer? If yes, try to disable its real-time protection feature as it might be causing the CenturyLink Login issue.

To achieve it go to the settings of antivirus and search for the “real-time protection” feature. Once you reach there, disable it. On the other hand, check on the web browser whether the CenturyLink webmail is still functioning or not.

If still, it is not loading accurately, try following the next solutions in the series.

5.Update CenturyLink Email Application

Are you using the CenturyLink Email Application? And facing login issues. If yes, there is a need to update the application as it might be possible that the application is outdated.
