I forgot my MyIDEXX username/AUTHENTICATION EMAIL and can't login

Your MyIDEXX username is your authentication email address. If you know your password but have forgotten your authentication e-mail address, take the following steps:

  1. Contact your Animana practice administrator. Ask them to check your authentication email address. This can be done in Animana via Settings > General settings > User management. Authentication email addresses are mentioned in the last column.
  2. Once you have received your authentication email address from your practice administrator you can login again using your username and password. See the related articles.

Note: If you are a practice administrator and have lost your authentication email address, please contact Animana Customer Support by sending an email from the email address we have registered on our records (to validate your identity).

    2. Add your new authentication email address.
    3. Click Save.
    4. Repeat this for each Animana account you have access to.
  2. Then change your authentication email address in MyIDEXX:
    1. Go to MyIDEXX (my.idexx.com) and sign in.
    2. Under “MyIDEXX profile” click Edit profile.
    3. Click the pencil next to your email address.

I remember my MyIDEXX username/AUTHENTICATION EMAIL and MyIDEXX PASSWORD, but still can't login

If you’re certain your authentication e-mail address and password are correct, but you’re  still having problems signing in, go through the following steps:

  1. See if a colleague with a MyIDEXX account is able to login to Animana. This allows you to rule out whether the problem lies with your account only.
  2. If other users at your practice are able to login successfully then please contact your Animana practice administrator. Ask them to double-check your authentication email address. They will find this option in Settings > General Settings > User Management.
  3. Create a new password. Read how.
  4. It is possible that you are logging in from an IP address that has not been approved by your administrator. Please contact your practice administrator and ask them to double-check this. They can check this in Settings > General Settings > User Management. There is a green checkmark to indicate if the option ‘Check on IP’ is activated. See the related articles for more information.
  5. If others cannot login, it’s possible that Animana or MyIDEXX is having some technical problems. Check the Animana status page.
