Locked out of account?
Posted on: 07/26/26 12:05AM

Hey, I'm posting on an alt account. I recently was trying to sign in on my main account (I triple checked the username and password) and I still wasn't able to sign in. I'm not sure why, it didn't display any error message. All it did was simply clear the Username and Password box. Not sure if I got banned or something, but my account is still up. I'm not just able to log in. Thanks!

that's just tough luck, and it sucks.

all I can advice you is to write down your username and password on either a physical paper or a digital notepad..this way it'll prevent you from getting locked out in the future.....but as of your current situation, no one here can help you with account restorations.

In the future use a password manager to save your passwords. I currently use BitWarden ( bitwarden.com/ ), but LastPass ( www.lastpass.com/ ) will suffice as well. There are others, including the free, open source KeePass ( keepass.info/ ), but the first two are easier to integrate into your browser. Both of them have extensions that work in Chrome, Firefox and all forks of those two browsers' rendering engines. (Which is pretty much all of them.)

As a bonus you can use them to generate and save long random passwords with upper & lower case characters, numbers and special characters. That way you can easily have a different password for every one of your logins, one that can't be cracked by password guessing. I'd recommend at least 30 characters in length.

If you're reusing the same password for multiple logins, like your email, bank, forums, etc. Make them all different and unique immediately.. Criminals will hack sites, steal their user databases, then share the login info. (Often selling it to other criminals.) Then they try logging into other sites using the same login/password combo. So if you used the same password on some random web forum that used for your email account, they can easily login to your email account once that forum is hacked.

Make sure you use a long password with at least upper/lowercase characters, numbers & special characters for the password for the password manager you chose. Write that one down if you need to so you can remember it no matter what. For special characters you can use simple character substitution: a -> @, c -> ( and so on. Same for numbers, i/I -> 1, e -> 3, etc. Even if you take a simple phrase like "thisismypasswordstayout" you can change that to "th1s1myp@$$w0rd,st@y0ut!" and it's much more secure, but not difficult to remember. Just don't use that phrase, it's out there and known now that I posted it.

Feel free to send me a live chat message if you need help picking one and setting it up.

password managers online suck ass, they actually charge money the same way big box storage does every month
and them being online means running an ironic risk of data breaches (believe me that one day, someone is dumb enough to do this)

I pretty much rely on a piece of paper or a notepad on pc to help me remember passwords without any major expenses made

Keepass is 100% free, it just takes more work to share your password database between browsers and devices. While they show the cost per month, Bitwarden is $19.80 a year and LastPass's premium is $25.20 a month. They have a free plan that's limited to one device.

As long as your passwords are long and complex enough that works fine, but most people won't do that. They'll go with simpler passwords that can be easily cracked if a site's database get stolen by hackers. (The example I gave is fine for your password manager unlock, but easily crackable with freely available software.) Having one long, easy to remember password to be able to have long, truly random passwords everywhere else will be more secure for most people.

I'm pretty sure it's not a password issue, no reason given when action failed sounds like the antispam feature this site has that admin never wants to explain so people don't bypass it. Idk why would it be tied to account, but when I encountered this before only using different VPN helped.
