5. Common Login Identification Issues & Resolutions

| Issue | Probable Cause | Recommended Action | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | "Email not found" | Typo or wrong identifier type | Try phone number or username instead. | | "Too many attempts" | Rapid failed identifications | Wait 15 minutes; use "Forgot Password?" | | "We detected a login from an unrecognized device" | New browser/geolocation | Complete 2FA or confirm via email code. | | "You’ve asked to remove your phone number" | Number removed from account | Use email or username to log in. |

Stage 1 – Identifier Capture

The user enters an identifier (e.g., email or phone). The system uses regex pattern recognition to determine the type:

• Contains @ and a domain → treated as email.
• Contains only digits (with optional + or spaces) → treated as phone number.
• Alphanumeric string with no @ or typical phone length → treated as username.

2. Recovery Code Never Arrives

Cause: Spam filters, incorrect phone number, or SMS delays.
Solutions:

• Check your email’s spam/junk folder.
• Verify your phone number’s country code.
• Wait 10 minutes, then request a new code.
• Switch to "Try another way" (e.g., from SMS to email).
