Why Do I Receive a "Sorry, Something Went Wrong" Error When Setting Up My Purdue Mobile ID?

If you receive a "Sorry, Something Went Wrong" message when signing into the eAccounts app, your Purdue login was successful, but your account information has not been properly registered in the Transact Mobile ID system. This issue typically requires assistance from Purdue ID Card Operations to resolve.

Why am I seeing this error?

You may see a message similar to:

This error occurs when there is a mismatch between your account information in Purdue's systems and the Transact Mobile ID platform. While your Purdue username and password are correct, the Mobile ID system is unable to retrieve your account information.

What should I do?

1. Verify that you are signing in with your Purdue career account and completing your two-factor authentication.
2. Take a screenshot of the error message.
3. Submit a support request to Purdue ID Card Operations and include:
   • Your full name
   • Purdue email address
   • Purdue University ID (PUID)
   • A screenshot of the error

Purdue ID Card Operations will review your account information and correct any registration issues preventing Mobile ID setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Purdue username or password incorrect?

No. This error indicates that your login credentials were accepted successfully. The issue is related to your account registration within the Mobile ID system.

Will reinstalling the eAccounts app fix the problem?

No. Reinstalling the app typically will not resolve this error because the issue is related to account registration data within the Transact system.

Can I continue setting up my Mobile ID?

Not until the registration issue has been corrected. Once Purdue ID Card Operations updates your account information, you can sign back into the eAccounts app and complete the setup process.

Is this the same as the "No Accounts Available" message?

No. The "No Accounts Available" message is often normal and may indicate that meal plans or Dining Dollars are not yet active. The "Sorry, Something Went Wrong" message indicates a problem with your account registration in the Mobile ID system.
