To fix this, check your email (<a title=\"Imessage Activation The Username Or Password Was Incorrect\" href=\"https:\/\/logmeonce.com\/resources\/imessage-activation-the-username-or-password-was-incorrect\/\">including spam\/junk folders<\/a>) for the activation code, and enter it into your Imessage to verify your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>What should I do if I&#8217;m having trouble verifying my Imessage account?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having difficulty verifying your Imessage account, you should first double check that you&#8217;re entering the correct activation code.
