Why does WithWine say my password is wrong?

If WithWine won't accept your password, check what's actually being typed, or skip the password and log in with a 6-digit code sent to your email. After 10 wrong attempts in a row, WithWine locks you out.

When WithWine won't accept your password, the email address or password being entered doesn't match the one on your account. This happens a lot, even when you're sure it's right. These are the usual causes:

  • Your browser or password manager filled in an old password. Clear the password box and type the password in yourself.

  • Caps Lock is on, or your keyboard is set to another language.

  • There's a space before or after your email address or password. This often happens when you copy and paste.

  • You're using the wrong email address. You might have a work and a personal address, or your winery might use a shared address. Check the end of the address too, for example gmail.com and not gmail.com.au.

  • Someone else changed the password, if a login is shared.

The quickest fix: log in with a code

You don't need your old password. On the password screen, under Continue without password?, click Continue. WithWine emails you a 6-digit code, and you can set a new password at the same time. See "How to log in to WithWine without a password".

If you've been locked out

To protect your account, WithWine locks you out after too many wrong attempts:

  • 10 wrong attempts in a row locks you out for 30 seconds.

  • Another 10 wrong attempts after that locks you out for 10 minutes.

WithWine doesn't show a message when you're locked out. Your login just won't work, even if you type the right password or use a code.

If you've had lots of wrong attempts, assume you're locked out:

  1. Stop trying. Every attempt during the lockout is wasted.

  2. Wait 10 minutes.

  3. Log in with a code, not your password, and set a new password at the same time. See "How to log in to WithWine without a password".
