Troubleshooting Help

I can't sign into KitBash3D.com

Why am I instructed to reset my KitBash3D account password when I try to sign in?

We made some big changes to our website when we introduced our new asset browser, Cargo.

If it's the first time you're signing into your KitBash3D account since we launched Cargo, you will need to verify your email and update your password. This is a one-time requirement due to the recent updates on the website.

I didn't receive a verification code or password reset code email

If you're not seeing the verification code or password reset code email in your inbox, please check your Spam, Promotions and Updates sections. The email will be from info@kitbash3d.com, subject line: Your Cargo Password Reset Code.

Keep in mind that if you have requested multiple password reset codes concurrently, only the code within the most recent time stamped email will be valid.

If you're still having trouble accessing your account, please email us at info@KitBash3D.com from the email linked to your KitBash3D account.

I can't sign into Cargo

Cargo Sign-In Page is Unresponsive

If you are experiencing any of the issues listed below, this could be an issue related to your VPN, network security, or firewall settings or if you're using an outdated version of Cargo.

First, ensure that you're using the most up to date version of Cargo. The version is shown in the top left of the Cargo application.

View our Cargo change log here, or simply download the latest version from the top right corner of KitBash3D.com.


If you're on the latest version of Cargo and are still facing a non-responsive Cargo sign-in screen, follow the steps in our Troubleshooting Cargo Installation and Download issues guide.

Signs of a Network Security or Firewall Issue

  • Unable to successfully sign into Cargo, but can successfully sign into KitBash3D.com

  • The sign-in button in Cargo is grayed out and appears to be unresponsive or frozen

  • Unable to successfully reset password in Cargo—the Save button is grayed out and unresponsive.

  • No error messages pop up when attempting to sign in.

Windows Defender

Since most Windows OS devices come with Defender, please check the permissions settings in Defender if you're experiencing an unresponsive Cargo sign in screen.

Navigate to Windows Defender Firewall settings in the Control Panel or by searching in the Windows search bar

  • Check whether you are currently connected to "Private networks" or "Guest or public networks"

  • Click on "Advanced settings" in the left-hand menu

  • Check whether Outbound connections are currently allowed for the type of network you're currently on (Private or Guest/Public)

  • If needed, change that setting by clicking on Windows Defender Firewall Properties and changing "Block" to "Allow (default)" for Outbound connections, then click Apply


If you're having trouble accessing your account, please start a chat using the messenger in the bottom left corner of the website, or email us at info@KitBash3D.com.
