In order for all of your information to be synchronized, you need to log in with the same credentials that you are using for the Yale Access app.
A tip is that before you log out of Yale Access and delete the old app, be sure to go to your profile in the Yale Access app to confirm the email and phone number associated with your account. Should it be the case that old information is showing in the account information page, you can update these details in the Yale Access app before trying to log in to Yale Home.
If you have since forgotten your password, you can use "Forgot my password" in Yale Home to reset the password. You will then be able to verify yourself both via e-mail and phone number.
