    Tried to login into my account using my laptop last night and got a message saying "too many login failures", I use the auto login so it remembers my password and very rarely uses my account on the laptop as I logs in using my phone but it also locked me out on the phone too last night

    when tried logging in this morning using my phone it worked but tried again on my laptop and has locked me out again, but my phone is still able to post for the time being at least.

    This is happening to a number of people and is, I believe, as a result of the issues the site is having.

    The techies are working on it.

    I got that error message too but on my phone. I tried to reset my password several times to no avail. I was not getting the activation email. Eventually I did start getting them. I also had to clear the cache on my phone to then stop the error message coming up.

    Came here to report the same issue.
    I wouldn't bother resetting your password..just use your laptop/desktop to access Boards until the issue's sorted.
    I've had the same problem using my phone this evening.
    Hoepfully it can be sorted soon.

    Works on phone but not on desktop. Says password entered incorrectly too many times for some reason. Can't imagine the work involved in setting all this right again-best of luck with it

    Happening to me as well. As Tom Dunne said, only solution seems to be to wait until the ladies and gents at HQ can sort it.
