Can't sign in

Wrong password, a locked account, a code that doesn't arrive, or "you were signed out" — what each means and how to get back in.

Forgot your password

On the sign-in page choose Forgot password?, enter your email, and use the 6-digit code we send to set a new one. If your account has two-factor, you'll still be asked for your authenticator code or a passkey afterwards — that's deliberate.

"Too many attempts"

After several wrong passwords, signing in to that account pauses for a few minutes. Wait, then try again — or reset the password. The account owner gets a security alert about repeated failures.

"You were signed out"

The sign-in page says why a session ended:

MessageWhat happened
Signed out from another deviceYou (or someone) ended this session in Settings → Sessions
Your password was changedEvery other session ends when the password changes
Your email was changedThe same, for an email change
Two-factor changedTurning two-factor on or off ends other sessions
Session expiredYou chose a session length and it ran out, or the browser closed
Suspicious activityAn old sign-in token was used again, so KODEO ended the session to be safe

Open pages notice too: the app shows the reason and lets you sign in again in a new tab without losing unsaved editor text.

Signing in with Google or GitHub

If you created the account with Google or GitHub, use the same button. To add a password, use Forgot password? with the same email address.

Lost your authenticator app and backup codes

See Lost your second factor.

If you think someone else signed in, go to Settings → Sessions and use This wasn't me — it signs out every device and starts a password reset.
