Try these steps in order: (1) Clear your browser cache and cookies (Ctrl+Shift+Delete). (2) Open an incognito/private window and try again. (3) Try a different browser entirely. (4) Disable any VPN or proxy temporarily. (5) Check if Primus's service status page shows any outages.
If you're not receiving your 2FA code: check your spam folder for the email code, verify your phone number is correct, use a backup code if you saved one during setup, or contact Primus support to temporarily disable 2FA and regain access.
Slow webmail can be caused by: too many emails in your inbox (archive old messages), a slow internet connection, browser extensions interfering (try disabling them), or ISP-side server issues. Try a different browser or check Primus's status page for service disruptions.
