Store admin sign-in problems

Can't sign in to yourdomain/login — wrong email or password, reset emails, one-time codes, 429 and 419 errors, reCAPTCHA lock-outs and expired stores.

Updated 2 min read Markdown

These are problems signing in to your store's admin panel at yourdomain/login.

"These credentials do not match our records."#

  • Use the admin email you entered when you set up the store — it may differ from your store account's email.
  • Passwords are case-sensitive; check Caps Lock.
  • Still failing? Reset the password, or use a one-time code (below).

Reset the admin password#

  1. On the sign-in page, select Forgot password?
  2. Enter the admin email and select Email me a reset link.
  3. Open the email and choose a new password.

The email doesn't arrive? Check spam and promotions folders and wait ten minutes. Make sure you typed the admin email exactly.

Sign in with a one-time code#

Use a one-time code emails a 4-digit code, valid for 5 minutes.

Message Fix
User not found. No account uses that email on this store. Check the admin email.
Incorrect OTP. Check the digits; you have 5 tries.
Invalid or expired OTP. More than 5 minutes passed — request a new code.
Too many attempts. Please request a new OTP. Request a new code.
Please wait …s before resending OTP. A code was just sent — wait for the countdown.

After a code sign-in you land on the store's home page; go to /admin/dashboard.

"429 — Too Many Requests"#

Too many attempts from your connection within a minute (20 for sign-in, 5 for one-time codes and reset emails). Wait a minute.

"419 — Page Expired"#

The page sat open until its security token expired. Reload and sign in again. If a save fails with this while editing, copy any text you were writing before reloading.

Locked out by reCAPTCHA#

If you switched on reCAPTCHA for Sign in and the keys are wrong, sign-in fails. Use a one-time code if that form is still allowed, or contact support — we can switch the check off for you.

"Your subscription has expired"#

The store's plan has ended and the admin panel is closed with it. Renew from your store account — see Renew a store.

Nobody can get in#

If the only admin has left and nobody knows the email's password, contact support from the store account's email address. Then keep at least two admins — see Admin users.
