If you didn't receive any e-mail after requesting your account info you can try requesting it again on the Forgot pass page, but in 99% of the cases your ISP, your company and their "spam" filters or policies are to blame. We absolutely don't recommend signing up from ISP's like AOL or Verizon for example. If you're not getting our e-mails please contact your ISP or the IT department at your company to fix the issue and have your account info sent again, or if it's not possible, contact us.

You'll probably need to change your e-mail address.
