    Note:

    The User ID is case-sensitive and must be created in lowercase letters.

  4. After entering the details, click Test Connection. If all the details are correct, then the Subscribebutton will get enabled.

    Note:

    This checks if the current credentials are working or if there's a connection issue.
  5. Once the credentials are entered correctly, you can click Update Credentials to save your changes.

    You have two options:

    1. Cancel: If you change your mind and do not want to unsubscribe, click the Cancel button. This will close the prompt and allow you to continue using the service.
    2. Yes, Continue: If you’re sure you want to unsubscribe, click the Yes, Continue button. This will confirm the action and unsubscribe you from the service permanently.
