Have you tried doing password reset instead of registration? I remember some people said that worked for them.

I was having the same issues but Icognito worked for me just now

Okay I finally were able to log in. The tracker sent email to my email which I used for PR and not the one where I got AOR and not in which was written on tracker with stars. "Terrific IT systems"

Interesting that I have LPP completed in September, but not Background check.
