How can I fix the issue of repeatedly receiving "wrong password" error on my Webflow account and then encountering a "429 Too Many Requests" error?
TL;DR
- Wait 15–60 minutes for the IP block to lift, or restart your router to get a new IP.
- After cooldown, reset your password using "Forgot Password", ensure correct credentials, clear browser cache, and disable extensions.
- If issues persist, contact Webflow Support for help regaining access.
You’re encountering a "wrong password" error and then a "429 Too Many Requests" error when trying to access your Webflow account. This usually happens due to multiple failed login attempts in a short time, triggering Webflow's rate-limiting system.
1. Wait for the Rate Limit to Reset
- The 429 Too Many Requests error means Webflow has temporarily blocked your IP from trying further requests.
- Wait 15–60 minutes without attempting to log in again. Trying to log in while blocked will reset the timer.
- If your IP is dynamic, you can try restarting your router to get a new IP address.
2. Use the “Forgot Password” Option
- After the cooldown period, go to the Webflow login page.
- Click “Forgot Password?” below the login fields.
- Enter the email associated with your Webflow account and follow the reset email instructions carefully.
- Make sure you’re entering the correct new password after resetting.
3. Clear Browser Cache and Disable Extensions
- Sometimes, cached data or third-party extensions interfere with authentication.
- Clear your cache and cookies, or try logging in from an incognito/private browsing window.
- Temporarily disable browser extensions, especially password managers, VPNs, or ad blockers.
4. Confirm You're Using Correct Login Credentials
- Ensure Caps Lock isn’t enabled and the keyboard layout is correct.
- Login issues often occur due to auto-filled incorrect credentials by browsers or password managers.
- If in doubt, delete the saved login and re-enter credentials manually.
5. Contact Webflow Support if Lockout Persists
- If you're still unable to access your account after password reset and waiting, go to Webflow Support.
- Submit a ticket with your email address, a description of the issue, and reference the 429 error.
- Support can verify your identity and help you access your account safely.
Summary
To resolve repeated "wrong password" and "429 Too Many Requests" errors on Webflow, wait for the rate limit to reset, reset your password via "Forgot Password", and ensure only correct credentials are used. If problems continue, contact Webflow Support for account recovery assistance.
