Hi Yale Portal Support,

I'm having trouble accessing my Yale Portal account. I've tried logging in multiple times, but I keep getting an error message saying "Invalid username or password." I'm positive I'm using the correct credentials, as I've double-checked my username and password multiple times.

Could you please help me resolve this issue? I need to access my account to register for classes and complete other important tasks.

Thank you for your assistance!

Best regards, [Student's Name]
