Cause: The new portal uses modern JavaScript (React/Angular). Internet Explorer 11 is blocked. Older versions of Safari or Chrome may have cache conflicts. Solution: Clear your cache and cookies.

With the new system, password complexity has increased. Special characters. MFA. Time-outs. This reveals a hard truth about our industry: We are technicians, not IT administrators. The friction of resetting a password often stops a repair cold.
But here is the strategic pivot:
The new PartsLink24 portal is forcing shops to designate a Digital Gatekeeper—one person responsible for managing credentials. If you haven't assigned that person yet, you are already losing money to downtime.
The "new" experience usually requires MFA. You will be prompted to set up an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) or verify via a text message. Scan the QR code and enter the 6-digit code. The new PartsLink24 portal is forcing shops to
