As Nathaniell says you need to cancel then re-sign up. Don't worry, your websites will still be there when you get back as long as it's less than 30 days.

I recommend backing up your websites too Full Backup With a Plugin

You'd need to cancel, then re-sign up on the date you prefer after your membership expires. PM Kyle and see if he can do anything but I think the best method will be to set your own date by signing up on a specific date.

Hi, I don't think you can as it's linked to your sign up date.
I'd suggest a PM to Kyle as you may be able to request it but I don't think there's an option on your account settings.

Having the same issue

Where did you buy the domain name and where is it hosted?

What do you mean by "hosting up to date" Labman. I registered it through WA and had not heard a word from ICANN about a lack of verification of my info until I could not access it. Last time it happened on my other site, it "flagged it" on my site dashboard that I had to confirm. This time, nothing until I went to the site. What I can't figure out is the email address is valid and I had difficulty with both of my sites. Thank you for your help!

This is something that should be a non-issue. If you purchased the domain and your hosting is up to date you should be able to access the site.

Excellent, it worked and I thank you for responding Juneyo!

I’ve experienced this many times already. What I did was manually typed the password rather than copy and paste it. It did work, but not always. When it didn’t, I just delete the email and create a new one. It always solves the problem (at least for me).
