Having trouble signing in?
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve your Ovi experience, Share on Ovi recently converted all existing Share accounts into Nokia Accounts. This conversion allows members to use one common Nokia user name and password to access all Ovi services. While most Share accounts transitioned smoothly, a small number of accounts had to be modified to accommodate the transition. A notification email was sent earlier to the registered address of all impacted accounts.
If you are experiencing difficulties signing in, it is possible that your user name has been updated. To see if your user name has been changed, follow these steps to sign in:
- Click the link below. You will asked to reset your password.
- When asked to sign in, use your email address or mobile number and your newly created password.
- Once signed in, you will see your current user name on the homepage.
- You may sign using this user name from this point on.
