## **📋 Overview**

If you have VIP access to the July 2025 challenge recordings but cannot log in — especially on mobile — the most common cause is a missing or mistyped character at the end of the password. This article covers the exact required password format and step-by-step troubleshooting to get you in quickly.

## **🔑 July 2025 VIP Password Format**

The password for the July 2025 VIP challenge recordings is:

**the-Google\_Ch\_JULY2025.**

The trailing dot (**.**) at the very end is part of the password and is required. This is the most frequent reason customers see an **invalid password** error. Make sure you copy or type the full password exactly as shown above, including the dot at the end.

## **📱 Why Mobile Logins Fail More Often**

Mobile keyboards introduce a few common issues that desktop users rarely encounter:

- **Auto-correct** removes or replaces the trailing dot, treating it as end-of-sentence punctuation.
- **Smart punctuation** settings convert a standard period into a stylised character that the system does not recognise.
- **Password autofill** may paste a previously saved version of the password that is missing the dot.
- **Capitalisation** — some keyboards auto-capitalise the first letter after a period, altering the password string if you retype rather than paste.

## **✅ Step-by-Step Troubleshooting**

1. **Copy the password directly from this article.** Press and hold the password text above, select all, and copy it. Avoid typing it manually on mobile.
2. **Disable auto-correct before pasting.** On iOS, go to **Settings → General → Keyboard** and turn off **Auto-Correction** temporarily. On Android, open your keyboard settings and disable **Auto-correction** or **Text correction**.
3. **Paste into the password field.** Tap the password field, select **Paste**, and do not tap or edit the field afterward.
4. **Check that the trailing dot is present.** Tap once at the end of the pasted password to position your cursor there. Confirm the last character is a standard period ( **.** ).
5. **Disable smart punctuation if needed.** On iOS, go to **Settings → General → Keyboard** and turn off **Smart Punctuation**. This prevents the period from being converted to an alternate character.
6. **Try a private or incognito browser window.** This bypasses saved autofill passwords that may be outdated.
7. **Clear your browser cache and cookies**, then reload the login page and try again.
8. **Switch to a desktop browser** if the issue persists on mobile, paste the password there, and confirm login works. If it does, the problem is isolated to your mobile keyboard settings.

## **⚠️ Password Entry Checklist**

Before submitting the password, verify every point below:

- The password is entered exactly as: **the-Google\_Ch\_JULY2025.**
- There are no spaces before or after the password string.
- The hyphen after **the** is a standard dash ( **-** ), not an em dash ( — ).
- The underscore characters ( **\_** ) are present and unaltered.
- The letters **JULY2025** are fully uppercase.
- The final character is a standard period ( **.** ).
