# Sign-in and account problems Source: https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems · Last updated: 2026-11-02 Fix Qualflare sign-in problems: single sign-on errors, two-factor setup at sign-in, locked or deactivated accounts and access errors, with each exact message. When you can't sign in to Qualflare, the sign-in page shows the reason: single sign-on is required, two-factor setup is due, the account is deactivated, or too many passwords failed, which adds a CAPTCHA; this page lists each message. ## Find your message | Message starts with | Section | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Invalid email or password`, `Your account is temporarily locked`, `Too many failed password attempts`, `For your security`, `Too many requests`, `Too many sign-in attempts`, `We couldn't run the security check` | [Passwords and lockouts](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems#passwords-and-lockouts) | | **Verify your email**, `Verify your email address`, `An account with this email address already exists but isn't verified` | [Email verification](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems#email-verification) | | `Your organization requires single sign-on`, `Your identity provider signed you in`, `Your email address's domain`, `Single sign-on failed`, `Too many single sign-on attempts`, `This workspace requires single sign-on` | [Single sign-on](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems#sso-sign-in-errors) | | `An account with this email address already exists. Sign in`, `Google reported a security problem`, `Your Google or GitHub account`, `Sign-in was cancelled` | [Google and GitHub sign-in](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems#google-and-github) | | `Two-factor authentication is set up`, `Your two-factor setup expired`, `Invalid or expired code`, `Too many incorrect codes`, `This workspace requires two-factor authentication` | [Two-factor authentication](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems#two-factor-authentication) | | `This account has been deactivated` | [Deactivated or deleted account](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems#deactivated-account) | | **Workspace not found**, `You no longer have access`, **Invitation Not Found** | [Workspace and project access](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/sign-in-problems#workspace-access) | ## Passwords and lockouts After repeated failed sign-ins for one email address, from any network, password sign-in asks for a CAPTCHA before it checks the password, until the next successful sign-in. | Message | Why | What to do | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `Invalid email or password.` | The email address or the password is wrong | Check both, or reset your password | | `Your account is temporarily locked. Try again later.` | Too many failed sign-ins for this address from your network | Wait, or reset your password | | `Too many failed password attempts for this account. Reset your password to sign in again.` | After many failed password checks, the password is refused even when it's right | Reset your password. A passkey, Google, GitHub or single sign-on sign-in still works | | `For your security, this password can no longer be used to sign in. Reset your password to continue.` | Qualflare retired the password because it may be compromised | Reset your password | | `We couldn't run the security check. Make sure challenges.cloudflare.com isn't blocked by an ad blocker, VPN or network filter, then reload the page and try again.` | The CAPTCHA couldn't load | Allow `challenges.cloudflare.com`, then reload | | `Too many requests. Please try again in a moment.` | Email and password: too many requests from your network | Wait a moment | | `Too many sign-in attempts from your network. Wait a minute, then try again.` | Google or GitHub: too many attempts from your network | Wait a minute | | `Too many single sign-on attempts from your network. Wait a minute, then try again.` | Single sign-on: too many attempts from your network | Wait a minute | A new password needs 14 to 256 characters, and Qualflare refuses common and breached passwords. > **Caution:** Setting a password from a reset email signs you out everywhere, revokes every access token you created, in every project, and disconnects any sign-in provider you linked since your oldest unexpired session signed in. CI pipelines that use your tokens stop working until you create new ones. To reset your password, click **Forgot password?** on the sign-in page, then **Send reset link**, and open the link in the email. It expires in 60 minutes, and if you asked more than once, only the most recent link works. See [Change your password](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/account-security#changing-your-password). ## Email verification An email and password account signs in only after you confirm its email address. Until then, sign-in opens **Verify your email**: open the link in the email from Qualflare, or click **Resend email**. The link expires in 60 minutes, and if you asked more than once, only the most recent link works. A password reset confirms your email too. | Message | What to do | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Verify your email address, then sign in again.` | Open the verification link, then sign in again | | `An account with this email address already exists but isn't verified yet. Check your inbox for the verification link, verify your email address, then sign in again.` | Verify the email address of your Qualflare account, then sign in with Google or GitHub again | Signing up again with an address that has an account creates no second account: Qualflare sends the address an email with the subject `You already have an account`, with a sign-in link and a password reset link. ## Single sign-on When single sign-on fails, the sign-in page names the reason and what to do. | Message | What to do | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Your organization requires single sign-on for this account. Enter your work email address below and select Continue to go to your identity provider. If that doesn't take you there, contact your workspace owner for the sign-in link.` | Enter your work email address and select **Continue**. If that doesn't work, ask your workspace Owner for the sign-in link | | `Your identity provider signed you in, but this account isn't a member of any workspace that uses this single sign-on. Ask your workspace owner to invite you.` | Ask a workspace Maintainer or Owner to invite you | | `Your email address's domain isn't verified for single sign-on with this workspace yet. Contact your workspace owner.` | Ask your workspace Owner. Only the Owner can verify domains, under **Verified Domains** | | `An account with this email address already exists but isn't verified yet. Check your inbox for the verification link, verify your email address, then sign in with single sign-on again.` | Open the verification link in your inbox, then sign in with single sign-on again | | `Single sign-on failed. Please try again, or contact your workspace owner if it keeps happening.` | Try again. If it keeps happening, ask your workspace Owner to check the connection | | `Too many single sign-on attempts from your network. Wait a minute, then try again.` | Wait a minute, then try again | | `This workspace requires single sign-on. Sign in with your organization's SSO, or contact your workspace owner for the sign-in link.` (on an invitation) | Sign in with single sign-on, then accept the invitation | *Figure: After a failed single sign-on, the sign-in page names what to do next.* Signing out of Qualflare doesn't sign you out of your identity provider, so on a shared computer, sign out there too. If your workspace locked itself out, its Owner emails support: see [Recovering from a lockout](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/sso#recovering-from-a-lockout). The Owner sets up the connection: see [Set up with your identity provider](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/sso#identity-provider-guides). ## Google and GitHub sign-in When a Google or GitHub sign-in fails, the sign-in page says why. | Message | What to do | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `An account with this email address already exists. Sign in the way you usually do, then connect this provider from your account's Connected accounts page.` | Sign in the usual way, then [connect the provider](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/account-security#connecting-an-account) | | `Google reported a security problem with this Google account, so signing in with it is paused. Sign in another way. It works again once Google restores the account, or after you reconnect Google under Account settings → Connected Accounts.` | Sign in another way | | `Your Google or GitHub account has no verified email address. Verify it with the provider, then try again.` | Verify the email at Google or GitHub, then try again | | `Sign-in was cancelled. Try again, or choose another way to sign in.` | Try again, or sign in another way | ## Two-factor authentication When a workspace you belong to requires two-factor authentication and your account has no second factor, you set one up the next time you sign in, before you can get in. After a Google, GitHub or single sign-on sign-in, the page then says `Two-factor authentication is set up. Sign in again, the same way as before, to continue.`, or `Your two-factor setup expired or was already used. Sign in again, the same way as before, to start it over.` | Message | What to do | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Invalid or expired code.` | Enter the code your authenticator app shows now. If the page has been open a while, sign in again | | `Too many incorrect codes. Use a recovery code, try again later, or reset your password.` | Use a recovery code, try again later, or reset your password | An invitation to such a workspace says `This workspace requires two-factor authentication. Set it up on your account, then come back here and accept.` [Set up an authenticator app](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/account-security#setting-up-2fa), then accept. Lost your authenticator app? Use a recovery code: see [Turn off the authenticator app](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/account-security#disabling-2fa). If you've lost every second factor and every recovery code, contact support from the account's email address; support checks your identity before it removes your second factors, and that signs you out everywhere. For how a workspace requires it, see [Require two-factor authentication](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/authentication). ## Deactivated or deleted account `This account has been deactivated. To restore it, contact support from the email address the account uses.` means the account can't sign in any way, and only Qualflare support can restore it. An account is deactivated when: * it stays unused: see [Inactive accounts are deactivated](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/account#inactive-accounts); * you delete it with **Delete Account**: see [Delete your account](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/account#delete-your-account). To restore it, email support from the address the account uses, as [When to contact support](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/getting-help#when-to-contact-support) describes. ## Workspace and project access When your account can't open a workspace or project, Qualflare shows one of these. **Symptoms:** * The **Workspace not found** page: `This workspace doesn't exist or you don't have access to it.` For a project, **Project not found**: `This project doesn't exist or you don't have access to it.` * The message `You no longer have access to this workspace.` (or `You no longer have access to this project.`) when Qualflare takes you back to your workspaces * The **Invitation Not Found** page: `This invitation could not be found or is no longer available.` **Possible causes:** * Not invited to the workspace * Removed from workspace * Signed into wrong account * Workspace suspended or deleted **Resolution steps:** 1. Check your current account: * Click your profile icon in top-right * Verify you're signed in with the correct email 2. Switch workspaces: * Click the arrows next to the workspace name at the top of the page * Select the correct workspace 3. Request access: * Ask a workspace Maintainer or Owner to invite you to the project you need. They must be a member of that project, and they send the invitation from its **Settings → Users** page * Invite links expire after 24 hours, so ask for a new invitation if yours has expired 4. Check your email: * Look for the project invitation email * Accept the invitation to join For the other invitation messages, see [Troubleshoot invitations](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/administration/users#troubleshoot). ## Still stuck Contact support from the email address your account uses: see [Contact support](https://docs.qualflare.com/docs/faq/getting-help).
