  1. How to get around "too many requests" and be able to log in


    My personal account was recently hit with numerous unsuccessful login attempts. After many attempts of my own to ACTUALLY log in, I was finally able to. I changed my password and even set up a 2FA last night.

    Today, I am once again unable to log in. Every time, I get "too many requests." Don't give me the "you need to wait 24-48 hours" spiel. That's asinine. The solution to someone halfway across the world UNSUCCESSFULLY attempting to get into my account is to LOCK MY OWN ACCESS TO MY OWN ACCOUNT TO ENSURE "SECURITY?!?!" ARE YOU KIDDING?? Yeah, good to know if I'm angry at someone I can just attempt to login to their account 5 times, effectively rendering it useless. If I attempt to login once a day from then on? Ope, looks like they're never getting back in. Who thought this was a good idea???

    Please tell me there is some other way around this than just waiting. I'm done waiting. I've never seen a good sign-in practice from any Microsoft-owned service, it all seems to simply exist to make the client's life miserable.

    :)

    Too Many Requests error when logging in

    Hi, my name is Julian and I'm an Xbox gamer just like you. Let's try to solve your issue together.

    The "Too Many Requests" error usually means there were multiple rapid login attempts, triggering a temporary block on the account.

    Please try these steps:

    1) Wait it out. The block is usually temporary (up to 24 hours). Avoid repeated login attempts during this time.

    2) Clear cache/cookies or try a different browser/device.

    3) Use the correct recovery path: If you're not resetting the password but recovering access, use this link: https://account.live.com/acsr

    4) If the recovery form fails, Microsoft support won’t be able to override security protections, but you can also check: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

    Please let me know if it worked or not and I would be happy to assist you further. Thank you!

    "Too Many Requests" when trying to log in

    Hello and welcome to our community!

    We’re excited to have you here and have great conversations! I'd be happy to be of assistance.

    I’m sorry to hear that your account is being targeted by unauthorized access attempts. It seems likely that others may know your email address and are trying to sign in to reset your password or change your email. In the meantime, since you're getting an error "Too Many Requests", please try to sign back in again after a couple of hours or after 24 hours. Once you successfully signed in, you can then follow the steps below to secure your account.

    To secure your account, I recommend changing your primary email address. Please follow the steps below:

    1. Sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/profile

    2. Under Account info > Click on Sign-in Preferences

    Note: It will ask you to verify your account, enter the password again or enter a code that will be sent to your email address.

    3. Under Account aliases > Click on Add email.

    4. Choose Create a new email address and add it as an alias > Enter your desired email. That will be for example *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***

    5. You will be redirected to previous page again and Under Account aliases > choose your new email address and make it Primary.

    6. Now, under Sign-in Preference, uncheck your previous email.

    Note: This will be your new email address for your account. You can use your new email address temporary so that hackers will no longer be able to use your previous email address. Use the same password that you have for this account. You can use it for like a week then you can revert it back to your previous email. Using your new email address, if someone will try to sign in using your previous email, they will get " Account does not exist" Error.

    For more information on how to secure account, click here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

    Hope the above information helps. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks!

    Too Many Requests problem

    Hi, my name is , I'm a member of the Xbox community like you. I understand your problem, don't worry I'm here to help you.

    Since you have attempted to log in several times in a short period of time, try waiting a few hours and see if the problem persists.

    If it persists, try logging in using a different sign-in method. After entering your email address, click on "Use your face, fingerprint, PIN, or security key".

    If you don't have any of these options, click Cancel and select "Other ways to sign in".

    I appreciate your patience, if you have more questions feel free to ask.
