What version of LDS Tools do you have? Versions prior to 3.5 no longer work.

Second, do you have anything in your password other than letters and numbers? Things like punctuation or symbols? It's possible the app may not be translating them correctly for it to work.

I have the same problem on my Kindle. It was working fine until a couple months (or so?) ago. And nope, no misinterpretable pw characters.

LDS Tools needs version 3.5 along with the Android 5 operating system or better to work. It is likely your Kindle does not have a new enough OS and has loaded an older version of LDS Tools. Unfortunately, older versions will no longer sync because of newer security requirements.

LDS Tools is no longer supported on Kindle Fire devices, even if they're running Android 5 or higher. Fire OS is a heavily-customized version of Android, which doesn't provide all of the same tools and security features as other versions of Android.

I have the latest update on the apple App Store and currently I am unable to login. I input my username and password and select “Sign In” and then nothing happens. I tried just logging into LDS.org to make sure I had the right username/password and it is all correct. Thanks for any help!

Does your password contain anything except letters and numbers? I suspect some clients don't process punctuation or symbols properly.

Also, make sure you can go to either the directory or calendar on lds.org. If you can't, then there are other problems with your account.

I’m having the same issue. No problems logging in with browser but IOS LDS Tools apps is not-responsive. Can get to calendar and directory on desktop and mobile browser. No special characters in password and no calling (authentication) or password changes in 6 months.
