I forgot my log-in info . . .
No big deal! I get that it can be a pain to manage so many accounts. But: all you have to do it click log-in in the top right, and then "forgot password" function. Sometimes Thinkific stuff gets caught in Spam, so be sure to check your Spam box if you don't see their follow-up email within a minute or two.
