Too many attempts
After 5 attempts for one email address, or 10 from one connection, within 15 minutes, sign-in pauses and shows Too many attempts. Wait a few minutes and try again. Successful sign-ins count towards this too.

| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Password length | At least 15 characters. Three or four words you will remember are better than a short scramble. There are no symbol rules. |
| Breached passwords | A password found in a known data breach is refused — choose another. |
| Link lifetime | A reset link works once and expires after an hour. |
| Asking again | Asking for a new link stops every earlier link working. You can ask 3 times an hour. |
Tip
If the link says That link no longer works, it has expired, been used, or been replaced by a newer one. Tap Send a new link. Check your spam folder before asking again.
Staying signed in, and signing out
- You stay signed in on a device until you have not used it for 30 days, and for 90 days at most.
- Sign out is at the top right of every screen. It signs out the device you are on.
- Resetting your password signs you out on every other device.
