If you're receiving a "wrong password" error when signing in to Webflow and then getting a "429 Too Many Requests" error, it usually means multiple failed login attempts triggered rate-limiting security measures. Here's how to resolve it:
1. Reset Your Password
- Go to Webflow's login page and click on "Forgot password?"
- Enter your registered email and follow the instructions in the reset email.
- Use a strong new password and avoid using previously compromised passwords.
2. Wait for the Rate Limit to Expire
- The "429 Too Many Requests" error occurs when too many login attempts are made in a short time.
- Wait 15–30 minutes before attempting to log in again.
- Avoid refreshing the login page repeatedly, as this could extend the lockout period.
3. Clear Browser Cache & Disable Extensions
- Clear cookies and cache for Webflow in your browser settings.
- Try logging in using incognito (private) mode to rule out extension conflicts.
- Temporarily disable ad blockers or security extensions that might interfere with login requests.
4. Try a Different Browser or Device
- If the issue persists, switch browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and attempt login again.
- Logging in from a different device can help determine whether the issue is browser-related.
5. Check for Webflow Service Issues
- Visit Webflow's status page to check for any widespread login issues.
- If Webflow is experiencing downtime, wait until the issue is resolved.
6. Contact Webflow Support
- If you've tried the steps above and still can't log in, submit a support request via Webflow’s Help Center.
- Provide details about your login attempts (browser, device, any error messages).
Summary
First, reset your password and ensure you're entering the correct credentials. If you trigger the "429 Too Many Requests" error, wait 15–30 minutes before trying again. Clearing cache, switching browsers, and checking Webflow’s status can also help. If the issue continues, contact Webflow Support for further assistance.
