AWS account access problem – support not responding after 48h

4•tourcoder•5mo ago
Hi all,

I’m stuck with an AWS account access issue and hoping someone here has advice.

My root login email suddenly stopped working — when I try to sign in, AWS says “account does not exist.” But the account definitely still exists (I even have recent billing emails). I also know my password, but the login system won’t recognize the root email anymore.

I opened a support case and provided billing statements, payment card details, and other ownership proof. 48 hours ago, AWS support told me they would escalate it internally and asked me to wait. Since then, there’s been no progress or communication at all.

Has anyone here dealt with AWS account access problems like this? How long does it normally take, and is there any way to push AWS to actually take action?

Thanks in advance.

I am so fucking confused and angry right now!!!

They have already called me on the phone number that is associated with my AWS account(twice), and I also provided them with multiple pieces of matching evidence(billing, phone, credit card, etc).

How the hell can this still NOT be enough to prove that the account belongs to me???

This is absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of my time. Do they even know what they are doing????

Still waiting for AWS Support to reply. Let’s see how long it takes them to handle such a basic account access issue. A nice little demo of how AWS treats its 10+ year customers. LOL.

The problem was solved with the solution I suggested on the first day I contacted them. Previous customer service representatives had said they couldn't handle my issue, which actually showed they simply didn't want to address it or take responsibility. Today's customer service representative was extremely professional and responsive, resolving my issue in just a few minutes.
