Locked out after wrong codes

Why repeated wrong sign-in codes lock you out, and how to get back in.

Table of Contents

To stop people guessing, Sovica locks sign-in for 15 minutes after too many wrong attempts. You see Too many attempts. Your account is locked for 15 minutes.

Get back in

  • Wait 15 minutes. The lock lifts by itself, and an administrator does not need to do anything.

  • Sign in with your email and password.

  • Enter the newest code. Old codes expire quickly.

If the codes keep failing

  • Using an authenticator app? Check that your phone’s date and time are set automatically.

  • Using text message? Check that your mobile number is right.

  • Lost your phone? Use a recovery code.

Resetting your password does not shorten the lock.

If you have lost every method, an administrator can reset your two-step sign-in under Business Details on the Security tab.
