Too many sign-in or register attempts
Why sign-in or registration shows a too-many-attempts message, and how to retry.
Summary
If you submit sign-in or register too many times in a short window, the product shows “Too many attempts — wait and retry.”
What you might see
- Login or register form: “Too many attempts — wait and retry.”
- This is not the incorrect-password or duplicate-email message
What to try
- Wait at least 10 seconds.
- Retry sign-in or register once. Do not hammer submit.
- If you have forgotten the password, there is no reset flow in the current product — use the password you registered with, or Google when that button is shown.
- On a shared network (office, campus, VPN), others’ attempts can contribute — wait and retry once.
When to contact us
If waiting and a single retry still shows the same message after several minutes.
What we will not do
- Provide legal advice
- Confirm whether a given email exists after this message
