Dark Purple or Lavender?

I don’t know how many people are aware but Chimera Academy has a website, and has had a website for a while. However, it’s only been recently that more work has been done to get the website to a better usable state. It is the place we would like to direct people to when out in the wild one day.

So, since Were-Ah had the day off and I’ve been getting better at doing things in a more timely manner so I can hang out with her on Discord, we both sat down to go over the website.

At least… that was the plan, until we realized an issue…

The website’s background colour (which had been updated earlier today) was not the same for the both of us.

Were-Ah was getting this deep lovely purple, which had been the original background colour.

Meanwhile, I was getting this lovely lavender colour, which was what Were-Ah changed it to.

Okay… weird, but most likely it was a cache issue. For those not familiar, there’s some bits and pieces of data that get stored by your browser called a cache that allows a page you’ve been on previously to load quicker because the browser kept that previous bit of data. Such as the colour of a background. No amount of clearing her cache fixing the issue.

Maybe it was a browser issue… browsers work differently all the time. Anyhow who has bounced around between Chrome, Firefox and Edge know this. Three additional browsers later nothing has changed. 

Perhaps it’s a computer problem, so she tries her laptop. Still dark purple.

At this point, I also tried opening the website on my phone, for reasons I’m not completely sure. Maybe to see if I would get the same dark purple colour, even though the lavender colour was the one that Were-Ah wanted, and it was still lavender, on my phone.

Then, in a moment of madness, Were-Ah decided to check the website on her phone. Let me be clear, she had never tried to open the website on her phone before. This means there is no old data from the website, on that phone, which means the website should be lavender on the phone.

It was dark purple.

At this point, we both thought, maybe… maybe it has to do with Were-Ah’s internet. I know that doesn’t sound like it makes any sense, but weirder things have happened. So she goes and texts her friend, while I go and message my sister. We both ask them to check the website, and send us a screenshot.

My sister kindly agreed to this and sent me a screenshot of a lavender website. Well, there’s our answer! It was Were-Ah’s internet!

And then… the friend sent back a screenshot… of dark purple. We were both horribly confused. Why did my sister, who didn’t even live in the same city as me, get the right colour, while the friend who was also in a completely different area from Were-Ah got the wrong colour? This made no sense…

Could the colour being pulled be limited by location? But how would that work? Surely not… we thought as Were-Ah asked her mom, who had never looked up the website herself, to look up the website and send a screenshot. Meanwhile, my intrigued sister got her boyfriend in on it and also checked the website.

Dark purple on Were-Ah’s end.

And lavender on mine.

Welp… that is starting to get weird, and while the answer is probably (hopefully) just that the server closer to Were-Ah is taking its sweet time to update, we have a question for everyone. Please check out the website, and send us a screenshot to let us know.

Dark purple?

Or lavender?

How Chrome DNS Cache Interacts with VPN and Proxy Settings

If you ever have used VPN or proxy service while surfing the internet, you may have noticed sometimes that the websites still load up from their original locations or somehow redirect unexpectedly. The reason behind this could be lurking in the browser's DNS cache. Specifically, in Google Chrome, the Chrome Net Internals DNS tool provides a unique window into how cached DNS data works — especially when paired with VPNs and proxy servers.

Let's deconstruct it all here in this tutorial, delving into how DNS caching operates, how it gets along with VPNs/proxies, and how to properly control it using Chrome Net Internals DNS in 2025.

What Is DNS Caching in Chrome? DNS (Domain Name System) works like the internet phonebook — converting domain names (such as example.com) into IP addresses your computer can use. To preserve time, your browser caches these lookups temporarily in what's a DNS cache.

In Google Chrome, the browsing cache can be tracked and controlled via the Chrome Net Internals DNS page. Using this tool will allow you to list the DNS entries in the cache, track DNS history, and eventually flush the DNS cache when necessary.

What happens when you use a VPN or proxy? A VPN or a proxy server redirects your internet traffic to another server, hiding your original IP address and location. Still, even with the traffic stream redirected through a VPN or proxy, your browser could use an old DNS cache, so websites might resolve to the old IP instead of the new route, and region-locked content might not come in.

Some websites may load slowly or incorrectly.

This is where the Chrome Net Internals DNS tool becomes critical. It helps clear out outdated DNS entries that are no longer valid when you're switching between VPNs, proxy servers, or even networks.

Why DNS Cache and VPN/Proxy Settings Can Clash Here’s why the combination of DNS caching and VPN/proxy settings can be problematic:

Cached IPs Don't Match VPN Routing When you go to a site without booting up a VPN, Chrome stores its DNS record on your local network. But when you enable a VPN, the path is altered — and the DNS entry may no longer be valid. This inconsistency can lead to problems or forward you to the wrong versions of the site.

Proxy Servers May Not Force a Fresh DNS Lookup Not all proxies override local DNS lookups. That means Chrome may still use its old cache unless you go into the Chrome Net Internals DNS interface and manually clear it.

Privacy Leaks A stale DNS cache may leak your actual location or ISP to websites even when you seem to be using a VPN. This defeats one of the main reasons for privacy-focused browsing.

How to Clear DNS Cache with Chrome Net Internals DNS (2025) To ensure your VPN or proxy works properly with Chrome, it’s a good idea to clear the DNS cache. Here’s how you do it using the Chrome Net Internals DNS tool:

✅ Step-by-Step Guide: Open Google Chrome.

In the address bar, type: chrome://net-internals/#dns Press Enter.

You’ll land on the Chrome Net Internals DNS dashboard.

Click the “Clear host cache” button.

Boom! Chrome now clears your DNS cache. Any time you go to a website from now on, Chrome is going to automatically resolve the domain name via your VPN or proxy, rather than your previous network configuration:

Optional: Flush Sockets for Even More Clean-Up Sometimes, active connections might still be using outdated network data. To flush even deeper: chrome://net-internals/#sockets Click "Flush socket pools." This fully cleans your network connections and re-establishes all of them through your current VPN or proxy route.

Best Practices When Using VPN or Proxy with Chrome To prevent problems, the following are a couple of best practices:

Always clear the DNS cache using Chrome Net Internals DNS when going online or offline with a VPN.

Reboot your browser to terminate any long-lived connections that won't reset automatically.

Use safe DNS settings (such as Cloudflare or Google DNS) if you're not depending on the DNS provider of your VPN.

Try setting Chrome to always use secure DNS over HTTPS (in Chrome settings).

Real-World Use Case Let's say you're a digital marketer and are trying to see how your site looks in various locations. You use a VPN to pretend you're from various places — but no matter how often you switch, the page loads the same. That's likely because Chrome is using cached DNS information.

By purging your DNS cache with Chrome Net Internals DNS, you guarantee your browser fetches new DNS data that corresponds with your new VPN location. It's a little thing that can save you a lot of heartache.

Final Thoughts Browsing the web securely and quickly in 2025 is more crucial than ever before. Though VPNs and proxies keep your privacy intact and allow access to geographically restricted content, they sometimes don't get along well with your browser's DNS cache.

Thankfully, Chrome Net Internals DNS gives you control over such matters. Flushing the DNS cache every time you switch networks or VPN routes will ensure you always browse in accuracy, in privacy, and in severance.

Next time you feel things "just" aren't "quite" right about using a VPN in Chrome, just recall: open up Chrome Net Internals DNS, hit that "Clear host cache" button, and you're good to go.

Chrome Net Internals DNS Tool – Complete 2025 Guide to Clear DNS Cache

If you've ever had trouble loading websites or seeing updates after changing DNS settings, you’re not alone.  Your browser may occasionally store DNS information that is incorrect or out-of-date. That’s where the Chrome Net Internals DNS tool comes in handy.

 We will explain what the tool is, how it works, and, most importantly, how to use it to clear your DNS cache in 2025 in this straightforward guide. Whether you're a beginner or a tech-savvy user, this article will help you fix DNS-related issues quickly.

What is Chrome Net Internals DNS?

The Google Chrome browser includes a built-in tool called Chrome Net Internals DNS that enables users to view and manage DNS information. DNS stands for Domain Name System, which is the system your browser uses to translate web addresses (like google.com) into IP addresses (like 142.250.190.78).

 When Chrome loads a site, it often stores the DNS results to speed up future visits.  However, these saved records can become outdated or incorrect.  Knowing how to use Chrome's internal tools to access and clear your DNS cache is crucial because of this.

Why Should You Clear the DNS Cache?

You may wonder, why would anyone need to clear the DNS cache?

Here are a few common reasons:

A website has moved to a new server, and you're seeing the old version

You're facing “site not found” errors for sites that work fine for others

You're switching between different network setups or VPNs

A web developer has changed the DNS settings, and you need the updated results

Clearing the cache resets the stored DNS records, forcing Chrome to fetch new ones. That way, you can avoid connection problems and get the latest content.

How Do You Access the Chrome Net Internals DNS Tool in 2025?

The tool lives inside Chrome’s advanced debugging section. Here's how to access it:

Open Chrome.

In the address bar, type: bash CopyEdit chrome://net-internals/#dns

Hit Enter.

This will take you directly to the Chrome Net Internals DNS interface, where you can view the list of cached DNS entries and take further actions.

Note: Google may update the design or layout in future Chrome versions, but the core features usually remain the same.

How Can You View Your Current DNS Cache Entries?

Once you’re inside the DNS section, you'll see a list of Host Resolver Cache entries. These are domain names your browser has resolved recently.

Each entry shows:

The hostname (website address)

The resolved IP address

Expiration times for each cached entry

This list gives you insight into what your browser remembers—and what may be causing a problem.

How Do You Clear the DNS Cache Using Chrome Net Internals DNS?

The process is very straightforward. Here’s what you do:

Open chrome://net-internals/#dns.

Look for the "Clear host cache" button.

Click it.

That’s it! Your DNS cache is now cleared.

After doing this, Chrome will reload DNS entries when you revisit websites. This action often solves strange errors or outdated content loading issues.

What Happens After Clearing the DNS Cache?

After clearing the cache:

Chrome will forget all stored IP addresses linked to domain names.

The next time you visit a website, Chrome will request fresh DNS information.

You might experience slightly slower loading times on the first visit—but that’s normal.

This is like giving your browser a clean slate. It helps ensure you’re accessing the most up-to-date version of websites.

Is It Safe to Use Chrome Net Internals DNS Tool?

Yes, it's completely safe.

You’re not modifying system-wide settings or affecting your entire device. You're only clearing cached records that Chrome itself stores. This tool doesn’t delete browsing history or saved passwords. It just clears temporary DNS lookups from Chrome’s memory.

It’s a good habit to use the Chrome Net Internals DNS tool every so often, especially if you browse many websites or switch networks frequently.

How Often Should You Clear the DNS Cache?

There’s no fixed rule, but here are a few guidelines:

Clear it if you face website loading errors

Clear it after DNS changes or switching to a new host

Clear it once every few weeks if you work in web development or networking

For most casual users, you won’t need to clear it regularly unless you're facing problems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Will clearing the DNS cache log me out of websites?

No. DNS cache and login sessions are separate. Clearing DNS won’t affect your saved passwords or logins.

2. Is Chrome Net Internals DNS available in all versions of Chrome?

Yes, it has been part of Chrome for years. However, its appearance and location may change with future updates.

3. Do I need admin rights to clear Chrome’s DNS cache?

No. Any user can clear Chrome’s internal DNS cache without needing administrator access.

4. Does this affect my entire computer’s DNS settings?

No. This only affects Google Chrome’s DNS cache. It won’t touch the system DNS cache used by Windows or macOS.

5. Will clearing the cache fix every website issue?

No, but it’s a good first step. If a site doesn’t load correctly after clearing DNS, the issue may be on the server side or with your ISP.

Conclusion

The Chrome Net Internals DNS tool is a simple yet powerful way to solve common web browsing issues. With just a few clicks, you can clear your DNS cache and ensure you're seeing the most current version of the web.

Whether you’re a web developer, digital marketer, or casual user, learning to use this tool will save you time and frustration. It's safe, easy, and effective.

So the next time a website won’t load or looks outdated, remember this guide and give Chrome’s DNS tool a try!

Battery Draining Fast? 5 Expert Fixes to Try Before Replacing It

Your smartphone is your daily companion—used for communication, entertainment, payments, and everything in between. But nothing is more frustrating than a phone that can’t keep up, especially when the battery starts draining faster than usual. You plug it in at 100%, and a few hours later, you’re searching for a charger again.

Before you rush to replace your phone battery or consider buying a new device altogether, here are 5 expert fixes you should try. These practical tips can often improve battery life significantly—no tools required.

1. Spot and Manage Battery-Hungry Apps

The first step to fixing battery drain is understanding what’s causing it. Most smartphones allow you to view detailed battery usage statistics. Head to your settings and check the “Battery” or “Power Usage” section. You’ll often see social media apps (like Instagram or Facebook), games, or even system apps consuming more battery than they should.

If an app is using too much power, try these steps:

Limit its background activity.

Turn off notifications and background refresh.

Uninstall and reinstall it, or switch to a lighter alternative.

Even popular apps can be poorly optimized and hog battery without you realizing it.

2. Control Background Activity and Auto Sync

One of the most common yet overlooked causes of rapid battery drain is background app activity. Apps are constantly syncing, refreshing feeds, checking for emails, or downloading updates. While convenient, it takes a toll on your battery.

Here’s what you can do:

Disable background refresh for non-essential apps.

Turn off auto-sync for email accounts, Google Drive, or cloud backups.

Use the “Battery Saver” or “Low Power Mode” to automatically manage background apps.

This will dramatically reduce unnecessary processes and help your phone last longer throughout the day.

3. Optimize Display Settings

Your phone’s display is one of the biggest battery consumers. High brightness, long screen-on time, and vibrant visuals may look great—but they eat up power fast.

Try these display tweaks:

Reduce brightness manually or enable auto-brightness.

Shorten the screen timeout setting to 30 seconds or 1 minute.

Enable Dark Mode, especially on OLED screens, to reduce battery usage.

Use static wallpapers instead of live or animated ones.

These small adjustments go a long way in extending your battery life daily.

4. Disable Unused Connectivity Features

Smartphones come packed with features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, mobile data, and NFC. But when left on unnecessarily, these features constantly search for signals, draining your battery quietly in the background.

Here’s how to manage them:

Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use.

Disable location services for apps that don’t need them.

Turn on Airplane Mode in low signal areas to prevent your phone from constantly searching for a network.

Avoid leaving multiple SIMs active unless required.

Proactively managing connectivity settings can help you squeeze extra hours from your battery.

5. Update Software and Reboot Regularly

Sometimes, the issue lies not in hardware but in software bugs. App glitches, memory leaks, or system bugs can cause excessive power consumption. Always make sure your device’s software and apps are up to date.

Also, remember to:

Restart your phone at least once a week.

Clear cache from heavy apps like Chrome or Facebook.

Reset app preferences if something seems off.

A fresh restart can help kill background processes and refresh system resources—improving performance and reducing battery strain.

Conclusion: Don’t Rush to Replace—Try These Fixes First

While battery problems can be frustrating, replacing your battery isn’t always the first or only solution. These expert-backed tips can fix most common causes of battery drain and breathe new life into your smartphone. From reducing background activity to optimizing your screen and disabling unused features, a few smart habits can go a long way.

But if you’ve tried all these steps and your battery is still performing poorly, it may be time for a replacement.

Ticketmaster Error Code U226: Causes, Fixes, and Preventive Tips

Ticketmaster is the go-to platform for millions of people purchasing event tickets—from concerts and festivals to sports and theater shows. However, encountering issues during checkout can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to secure high-demand tickets. One common and often confusing problem users report is Ticketmaster Error Code U226. If you've seen error code: U226 flash across your screen, you're not alone. In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about this error—why it appears, how to fix it, and how to avoid it in the future.

What Is Ticketmaster Error Code U226?

Error Code U226 is a security-related error on Ticketmaster that typically occurs when the system suspects that your activity may be automated or suspicious. It’s essentially a protective response from Ticketmaster’s fraud detection algorithms. If you encounter error code U226, it means your access to purchasing tickets has been temporarily restricted.

Why Does Error Code: U226 Occur?

The main causes of this error include:

Rapid clicking or refreshing the page

Using browser extensions or VPNs

Multiple tabs open on Ticketmaster simultaneously

Automated scripts or bot-like activity

Excessive failed login or payment attempts

Ticketmaster's system is designed to protect fans from scalpers and bots, which unfortunately means that even regular users can sometimes trigger this error.

Common Scenarios Where You Might See Error Code U226

Understanding the context in which the Ticketmaster error code U226 occurs can help you avoid it. Here are some scenarios:

1. Trying to Purchase High-Demand Tickets

When a popular event goes on sale, thousands of users flood the Ticketmaster website. In such high-traffic moments, even legitimate fans may appear suspicious to Ticketmaster’s algorithms, especially if they’re refreshing constantly.

2. Logging In From Multiple Devices

If you’re logged into Ticketmaster on your phone, laptop, and tablet all at once, you increase the risk of getting flagged for suspicious behavior.

3. Using Automation Tools

Some users attempt to use browser automation tools or bots to improve their chances of getting tickets. Ticketmaster is particularly sensitive to this and will issue error code U226 to block the activity.

4. Use of VPNs or Proxies

VPNs mask your IP address, but they can also trigger fraud protection systems. If you’re on a VPN, Ticketmaster may see it as an attempt to bypass regional or security restrictions.

How to Fix Ticketmaster Error Code U226

Fortunately, there are several ways to fix error code: U226 and get back to purchasing your tickets.

1. Stop All Activity Immediately

Once the error appears, stop refreshing, clicking, or navigating. Take a break for about 10–30 minutes to avoid prolonging the temporary block.

2. Clear Browser Cookies and Cache

Cached files and cookies can store data that triggers the same error again. Here’s how to fix it:

Go to your browser settings

Clear browsing data (cookies, cache, and history)

Close and reopen your browser

Try accessing Ticketmaster again

3. Disable Extensions and VPNs

Ad blockers, script blockers, or VPN tools can interfere with how Ticketmaster interprets your behavior. Disable all extensions and VPNs, then refresh the page.

4. Use a Different Browser or Device

Switching to a new browser (e.g., from Chrome to Firefox) or using a different device (like your smartphone instead of your laptop) may bypass the error.

5. Reset Your Network

Restart your router or use a different internet connection. Sometimes your IP address is temporarily flagged—changing it can help.

Preventing Future Error Code U226 Incidents

Avoiding the Ticketmaster error code U226 in the future requires understanding best practices for using the platform.

1. Avoid Over-Refreshing

While it’s tempting to refresh repeatedly when tickets are about to go on sale, limit your refreshes. Let the page load fully before trying again.

2. Stick to One Tab and One Device

Only use one tab and one device when trying to buy tickets. Multiple sessions from the same account are likely to be flagged.

3. Don’t Use Bots or Scripts

Ticketmaster actively fights automated ticket-buying tools. If you’re using browser automation, you will almost certainly trigger U226.

4. Stay Logged In Before the Sale

Log into your Ticketmaster account 10–15 minutes before the sale and keep your information ready (billing, payment, etc.) to speed up checkout without erratic behavior.

5. Avoid Public Wi-Fi

Public networks can make your activity look suspicious. Stick to trusted home or mobile networks.

When to Contact Ticketmaster Support

If none of the above solutions work, and you keep getting error code: U226, you may need to reach out to Ticketmaster’s customer support.

Steps to Contact Support:

Go to Ticketmaster Help

Click on "Contact Us"

Use the live chat option or request email assistance

Provide the full error message, browser used, and what you were trying to do when it occurred

Ticketmaster can sometimes manually lift a restriction, especially if it’s affecting your ability to access a time-sensitive ticket sale.

FAQs About Ticketmaster Error Code U226

Q: How long does Ticketmaster Error U226 last? A: It can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the activity that triggered it.

Q: Can I get banned permanently because of U226? A: No. This is typically a temporary restriction. However, repeated violations could result in longer blocks.

Q: Is there a way to know if I’ve been flagged before trying to buy tickets? A: Unfortunately, Ticketmaster does not notify you beforehand. You’ll only know if an error like U226 appears during activity.

Final Thoughts: Stay Smart to Avoid U226

Getting hit with Ticketmaster error code U226 during a hot-ticket sale is frustrating, but understanding what causes it and how to avoid it can make a big difference. The key lies in being patient, using the platform responsibly, and avoiding behavior that mimics bots or scalpers. Whether you're chasing concert tickets or seats at the next big game, keeping your Ticketmaster activity clean and human-like is the best way to stay on the right side of their security systems.

How to fix Microsoft 365 portal login issues?

If you've been struggling with accessing your microsoft365 portal login, you're not alone. Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) is a widely-used cloud-based suite that includes apps like Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and OneDrive. However, login issues with the Microsoft 365 portal can be frustrating and disruptive—especially when you need immediate access to your email or documents.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the most common causes of Microsoft 365 portal login problems and how to fix them step by step. Whether you're a student, professional, or IT admin, these troubleshooting tips will help you resolve login issues quickly and efficiently.

Why Microsoft 365 Portal Login Issues Happen

Before diving into fixes, it's important to understand the possible causes behind microsoft365 portal login errors. Here are some of the most frequent culprits:

Incorrect username or password

Expired or locked account

Browser-related problems (cookies/cache)

Two-factor authentication (2FA) issues

Network or DNS configuration problems

Incorrect login URL

Licensing or subscription expiration

Firewall or antivirus restrictions

Understanding the root cause will help you apply the right solution faster.

1. Verify the Correct Microsoft 365 Login URL

A surprisingly common mistake is trying to log in from an incorrect or outdated URL. To access Microsoft 365 services, always use the official login portal:

From there, click on "Sign in" and enter your Microsoft credentials.

Using any third-party or unofficial site could not only cause login errors but also put your account at risk.

2. Check Your Username and Password

This might sound basic, but it's often the first hurdle. Ensure that:

You’re using the correct email address associated with your Microsoft 365 account.

The password is typed correctly, considering case sensitivity.

Caps Lock is off on your keyboard.

If you’re unsure about your credentials:

Click “Forgot my password” on the sign-in screen to reset it.

Contact your admin (if you're part of a school or organization).

3. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies

Outdated cookies or corrupted cache can interfere with your microsoft365 portal login. Follow these steps to clear them:

For Google Chrome:

Click the three-dot menu > Settings

Navigate to Privacy and security

Click Clear browsing data

Select Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files

Hit Clear data

After clearing, restart the browser and try logging in again.

4. Try a Different Browser or Use Incognito Mode

Sometimes, browser extensions or settings can block access to the Microsoft 365 portal. Try:

Using a different browser (e.g., Firefox, Edge, Safari)

Opening your browser in incognito/private mode

This will bypass stored cookies and extensions, offering a clean slate for login.

5. Resolve Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Problems

If your account is secured with 2FA or multi-factor authentication, make sure:

Your authenticator app (like Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator) is installed and up-to-date

You’re receiving the authentication code

Your phone or backup email is accessible

If you’ve lost access to your 2FA method, you’ll need to contact your organization’s IT support or Microsoft support to regain access.

6. Check for Account Lock or Suspension

Multiple failed login attempts can trigger an account lock. Additionally, inactive accounts or suspicious activity may cause Microsoft to suspend access.

Here’s how to check:

Try signing in from another device or browser

Visit the Microsoft account recovery page: https://account.live.com/password/reset

If you receive a message like “Your account is locked,” follow the instructions provided to unlock it. In business environments, you may need to ask your admin to unlock your account.

7. Inspect Network and DNS Settings

In some cases, incorrect DNS settings or a weak network connection can block access to Microsoft services.

Fix Suggestions:

Restart your modem/router

Connect to a different Wi-Fi or use mobile data

Change DNS settings to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Disable VPN temporarily to rule out interference

If you're on a corporate network, consult your IT team to check for firewall restrictions.

8. Ensure Your Microsoft 365 Subscription is Active

An expired Microsoft 365 subscription can prevent you from logging into the portal or using apps.

To check:

Go to Microsoft account

Click Services & subscriptions

Verify that your Microsoft 365 license is active

If expired, you’ll need to renew the subscription or update payment details to regain access.

9. Disable Conflicting Extensions or Firewalls

Some antivirus programs and browser extensions can conflict with the login process. Try disabling:

Ad-blockers

Privacy extensions like Ghostery or DuckDuckGo

Third-party firewalls or antivirus (temporarily)

After disabling, attempt the login again. If successful, whitelist portal.office.com to prevent future issues.

10. Update Your Browser and Operating System

Running an outdated browser can lead to compatibility issues with modern web apps like Microsoft 365.

Make sure you’re using the latest version of:

Google Chrome

Microsoft Edge

Mozilla Firefox

Safari (for macOS users)

Also, ensure your operating system is up to date with the latest patches and security updates.

11. Reset Your Password Using Account Recovery

If you suspect someone has tampered with your account, resetting your password is the best course of action.

Follow these steps:

Go to https://account.live.com/password/reset

Select “I forgot my password”

Follow the verification process

Set a new secure password

Make sure the new password meets Microsoft’s security requirements.

12. Contact Microsoft Support

If none of the above steps resolve your login issue, your last resort is contacting Microsoft Support.

Visit: Microsoft account

Choose “Contact Support”

Use live chat or request a callback

Provide them with all relevant details, including your account email, error messages, and the steps you've already tried.

Tips to Avoid Microsoft365 Portal Login Issues in the Future

Use a password manager to store complex passwords securely.

Enable 2FA and keep backup methods updated.

Bookmark the correct login URL: portal.office.com

Check login activity regularly for suspicious access.

Renew subscriptions on time to avoid disruptions.

Final Thoughts

Why Is My IEC Code Not Showing in DGFT Portal?

Having a valid IEC Code (Import Export Code) is important for companies that trade internationally. This 10-digit unique code, which is issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), serves as the primary ID for all import and export operations from India. Obtaining overseas payments, clearing customs, and taking advantage of government incentives all require it. Nevertheless, a bothersome problem that many exporters and dealers encounter is that their IEC Code does not appear on the DGFT portal even though they have a valid Import Export Code Registration. This article examines the potential causes of this problem and provides a thorough how-to for fixing it successfully. We will also discuss the significance of IEC registration, regular IEC updates, and the impact of the DGFT's digital transformation on IECs' online visibility.

Recognizing the IEC Code and Its Importance

The IEC Code, also known as the Import Export Code, is a mandatory registration for individuals and businesses involved in international trade. Without this code:

Importers cannot clear goods through customs.

Exporters cannot receive foreign remittances.

Entities are ineligible for DGFT-based incentives or schemes like RoDTEP or EPCG.

The IEC Registration process is done online through the DGFT portal. Once granted, it is valid for a lifetime but must be updated annually, failing which it can be deactivated or become invisible on the system.

Why Is My IEC Code Not Showing in DGFT Portal?

Let’s examine some of the most common reasons why your Import Export Code may not be visible or searchable on the DGFT system:

1. Non-Compliance with Annual IEC Update Mandate

Since July 2021, DGFT made it mandatory for all IEC holders to update their details on an annual basis between April and June, even if there are no changes. This is known as the IEC Update requirement.

If you haven’t complied:

Your IEC might have been deactivated.

Deactivated IECs are not visible on the DGFT portal.

You may not be able to apply for schemes or clear customs.

Solution: Login to the DGFT portal and file for reactivation or IEC Update. Once updated, your IEC will be restored and become visible.

2. IEC Not Migrated to the New DGFT Portal

In 2020, DGFT transitioned from the older portal to a new digital platform with increased services and better integration. IECs issued before the migration may not have been ported correctly.

Symptoms include:

Valid IEC showing “not found” or “invalid” status

IEC not linked to PAN on the new portal

Solution: You must manually migrate your IEC by creating an account using your PAN number and linking your old IEC. You’ll then receive an IEC Update confirmation.

3. Typographical Errors in IEC Code or PAN Details

Another frequent reason is data entry errors while searching for your IEC Code:

Wrong IEC number (even a single digit error)

Mismatch in PAN details during portal login

Using a different firm name or entity type than what was registered

Solution: Double-check your IEC Registration number from the official certificate. Also, confirm you are using the same entity type (Individual/Firm/Company) and PAN during login.

4. Technical Glitches on DGFT Portal

At times, the DGFT portal may experience:

Server downtime

Search functionality errors

Cache or browser-related issues

These can temporarily prevent your Import Export Code from displaying.

Solution:

Clear browser cache or try incognito mode.

Use updated browsers (Chrome or Edge).

Try accessing during off-peak hours.

If the issue persists, raise a technical grievance through the DGFT Helpdesk.

5. IEC Suspended or Canceled

If your IEC has been canceled due to:

Voluntary surrender

Fraud or non-compliance

Inactivity or non-updation

It will no longer appear on the DGFT portal.

Solution:

Check if you received a cancellation notification.

If the code was suspended due to non-updation, reapply for activation with the necessary IEC Update.

6. Incomplete IEC Registration

Sometimes, users assume the IEC Code Registration is completed, but the application might have been saved as a draft or not successfully submitted due to:

Missing digital signature (DSC)

Non-payment of fee

Technical error during submission

Solution:

Log in to your DGFT account.

Go to “My Dashboard” > “IEC Applications” and check the status.

If incomplete, complete and resubmit the application.

How to Check Your IEC Code on DGFT Portal?

If you suspect your IEC is not showing, follow these steps to check:

Visit https://www.dgft.gov.in

Go to “Services” > “IEC Profile Management”

Click “View IEC” or “Print IEC”

Enter your PAN and business name

If active, your IEC details should appear

If nothing shows up, consider the possibilities discussed above.

What to Do If Your IEC Is Not Showing?

Here's a step-by-step action plan to get your Import Export Code back on track:

Step 1: Verify Status Using PAN

Go to the DGFT portal and try logging in with your PAN details to see if the IEC exists in your profile.

Step 2: File IEC Update

If it has been more than a year since you last updated your IEC, submit the IEC Update form under "Modify IEC" and digitally sign the request.

Step 3: Contact DGFT Helpdesk

Raise a ticket with a screenshot, IEC number, PAN, and error message. The DGFT helpdesk can assist in case of portal migration or visibility issues.

Step 4: Reapply or Reactivate

In case of cancellation or expiration due to non-compliance, submit a reactivation request along with necessary documentation.

Preventive Measures to Keep Your IEC Active

To avoid future issues with your IEC Code, follow these best practices:

Update Annually – Perform your IEC Update between April and June each year.

Maintain Accurate Records – Confirm your contact info, email ID, and business address are always current.

Keep DSC Active – A valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is required for updates and application filings.

Monitor Email from DGFT – Any alerts or instructions from DGFT regarding IEC are normally sent to the registered email.

Benefits of Having a Visible and Active IEC Code

When your IEC Code is updated and visible on the DGFT portal, you enjoy the following benefits:

Faster Customs Clearance – IEC is essential for exporting/importing goods.

Access to DGFT Incentives – Schemes like RoDTEP, EPCG, and DFIA require an active IEC.

Banking Compliance – Banks require a valid IEC Registration for processing export proceeds.

Global Market Access – An updated IEC shows international buyers that you’re trade-compliant.

Assumption

In addition to being a legal need, an active and visible IEC Code serves as a gateway to government advantages and international commerce participation. Technical difficulties, migration problems, or non-compliance with the IEC Update policy are the most common causes of your Import Export Code not appearing on the DGFT portal.  You may guarantee continuous access to trade platforms and government assistance by actively managing your IEC Registration, making regular revisions, and keeping proper records. Your export-import procedures shouldn't be delayed by a little technological glitch. Remain visible, stay compliant, and allow your company to expand internationally.
