Unable to Access My Autodesk Account Due to Deleted Student Email

I am experiencing an issue accessing my Autodesk account. I had a student membership linked to my student email address, but my institution has since deleted that email. Now, when I try to log in, I am prompted to receive a verification code either via my student email (which I no longer have access to) or via my phone. However, I am not receiving any verification codes on my phone either.

Since I cannot access my student email and I am not receiving the authentication code on my phone, I am completely locked out of my account. I would appreciate your assistance in recovering access. Pleeease let me know what steps I should take to verify my identity and regain access to my account.

@timmahoney The best is to set up a call with the agent so that on the call this can be resolved. please let me know if you are having any trouble to set up a call.

@RajkumarIlanchelian can you please help as my case is still unresolved and I just got an update saying there is nothing they can do.

 

"We have reviewed all the possible options, even if we help you with the code sent to your University Mail, you are not able to receive that, due to Inaccessibility. We request you to contact your school’s IT Administrator for further assistance. Once you have the temporary access, you can update your Account to new Mail (which should not have Autodesk Account before)."

 

I have already told them three times that I've contacted the IT admin and the account has been deleted so it is not possible to get temporary access.

 

How do I escalate this?

@RajkumarIlanchelian sorry I missed your previous reply. To answer, yes, I'm having A LOT of trouble booking a call. I've had one agent ask for my availability, not respond all day, then tell me they can't do calls, ask me to do live chat instead, then I jump on live chat and another person says another team will email me. Rinse and repeat.

 

29 Aug:
"Thank you for sharing your consent and availability details. I understand that you are available today and for the next 12 hours in your timezone (GMT+10). If not today, you mentioned that you can also be available anytime between 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM GMT+10Could you kindly confirm if you are available right now so that we can proceed immediately?

I then sent 3 consecutive emails to this agent to organise a call over the next 12 hours and didn't get a response. Fast forward to 1 Sep.

1 Sep:
"Since we currently do not have calling rights or facilities, I am unable to connect with you via phone. However, I’d like to inform you that I am now available until 2:00 AM, GMT+10. Please let me know if we can coordinate on a common time during this window so that I can assist you further with the OTP process."

I then confirm again.

"
Thank you for confirming your availability. At the moment, we only provide support through emails and live chatIf you’d like, you can connect with us via live chat for faster real-time assistance. Alternatively, we can also continue assisting you with the OTP process here over email itself."

I then do live chat and get a completely different person who simply escalates the case to the same team again.

@RajkumarIlanchelian I just received this alarming response from Client Services. 

" I regret to inform you that we are unable to provide or resend the OTP for the [original] account as it can only be sent to the registered email address associated with that account. Since that email has been permanently deleted, the OTP cannot be delivered and access to the account cannot be restored.

The files associated with the deleted [email address] account cannot be retrieved without access to the registered email."

I'm in the same boat as everyone else, case #24734288

 

@RajkumarIlanchelian if you're able to help add me as another case where support was unable to help even after giving them screenshots of having access to hub through my personal account, getting to the OTA page (meaning I had correct credentials) I would be more than happy to receive further support or schedule a call to verify my identity again as needed and temporarily have OTA off or receive the code over phone/via a personal email address that I do have access to so that I can update the 2FA methods and email on file that I no longer have access to nor will the school IT admin re enable it as they're deprecating it.

 

Thank you! Best of luck to everyone else experiencing issues with this sudden change being pushed prematurely, and to the support team on doing their best to make it right

@RajkumarIlanchelian thank you for helping to resolve the issue. It has been fixed now. I'm not sure if you have any influence over the support team, but the email that eventually came through looked like a generic sign-in help email. You have to scroll to the very last line at the bottom to see them mention "Important: By providing this information, you consent to Autodesk sending you a One-Time Password to the email address you are currently using to communicate with us."

For anyone else struggling with this issue, the email you will receive looks like the below. Once I responded to this, I then received a phone call and they provided the OTP over phone while I was signing in and then made sure I changed my email address as well. Make sure you have a spare email address available to use.


I’m from Autodesk's Client Services team, and I will be assisting you with signing into your Autodesk account.

Before proceeding, please confirm that you have checked the following:

Emails from signin@autodesk.com and noreply@autodesk.com are not blocked by you or your organization.

The email is not in your spam or junk folder.

Your email mailbox is not full and has space to receive new messages.

If the issue persists after checking all of the above, please reply with these details:

1. What URL do you see in your browser’s address bar on the sign-in page?
Please reply with one of these options:
    A. accounts.autodesk.com 
    B. signin.autodesk.com 

2. If applicable, share a screenshot of the page where you're experiencing the problem.
Once we receive your response, we’ll guide you through the next steps.

3. If you don't have access to the email associated with your Autodesk account or if you haven't received the code, please provide the following information:

First and last name on the Autodesk account:

Company or Institution name (if any):

Email address associated with the Autodesk account:

Phone number on the Autodesk account (if any):

Product name and seat count of the license:

Payment information (applicable only for paid customers)

Payment method (If credit card was used, please share last 4 digits of the credit card):

Paid amount:

Date of Transaction:


Important: By providing this information, you consent to Autodesk sending you a One-Time Password to the email address you are currently using to communicate with us.

@lollobaldo2000autocad_rec @mathermann When you say same problem are you refereeing to the fact that contacting Autodesk support is not helping? What are you hearing back from them?

@RajkumarIlanchelian yes exactly, The support team explained to me that they cannot do anything on their side. The only solution is to regain access to my old email address (mathis.hermann@utt.fr), which was unfortunately deleted by my university.

Hi @RajkumarIlanchelian

Just to clarify my situation: my Fusion 360 account is linked to my old student email (mathis.hermann@utt.fr), which has been permanently deleted by my university. Support told me they can’t help unless I recover that email, which is impossible. (case number 24738874)

I saw others with the same issue had their case resolved after you escalated their tickets — could you please escalate mine as well?

Thanks

@RajkumarIlanchelian 

After several exchanges with support, I just received this response this morning, which is completely illogical. To be clear, I do not want to take advantage of the benefits of the student license, but only to regain access to my account to recover my existing projects. can you look into this because I'm going to lose my mind?

 

"I hope this email finds you well. Your case has been carefully reviewed by our Sign In Team, and they have confirmed that your previous student email address has been deleted by your institution. Since the email no longer exists, the Sign In Team will not be able to assist in recovering access to your Autodesk account."
