Hi! I see you're having trouble resetting your password because the reset link says it’s expired or already used. Let’s get this sorted out together.
To start, can you tell me a bit about how you’re requesting the reset link? For example: - Are you clicking the reset link right after receiving the email, or waiting some time? - Have you tried requesting the reset link multiple times in a short period? - Are you opening the link on your iPhone directly, or maybe on a computer or another device?
This info will help me guide you better.
In the meantime, here’s a step-by-step approach that usually helps with expired or used password reset links on iOS (version 18.6):
1. Request a New Link Promptly: Password reset links often expire quickly or are one-time use only. After requesting it, open the email and click the link immediately.
2. Avoid Multiple Requests: If you request a new reset link before using the previous one, the earlier links can become invalid.
3. Clear Browser Cache: On your iPhone, clear the Safari browsing data by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data to prevent any cached info interfering.
4. Use Private/Incognito Mode: Try opening the reset link in a Private Browsing window in Safari or another browser app to avoid session conflicts.
5. Check Email Filters: Make sure the reset emails aren’t going to spam or being delayed.
6. Open the Link Directly: Ensure you’re clicking the link directly in the email, and not copying and pasting it somewhere, as sometimes links can break with extra spaces.
If you’ve tried these and still see the expiration message, it may be related to how the server handles reset requests—sometimes previous attempts invalidate older links, or maybe there’s a system-wide issue.
Let me know what steps you’ve already tried and what your experience has been with these suggestions. If needed, I can help escalate or check if there’s a wider issue affecting password resets.

Are you able to try these and share what happens?
