Lots of people are signing up from your network" or "Too many sign-up attempts for this e-mail address"? Why sign-up pauses for a while and how to finish it.
StreamLive Pro limits how many new accounts can be opened from one network, and how many sign-up attempts can be made for one mailbox, within an hour. When a limit is reached, sign-up pauses with a message, and it opens again by itself after a while. The network limit usually hits shared connections, such as an office, a school, a conference Wi-Fi or a VPN, where many people appear as one address. The mailbox limit usually means the account already exists, or the form was sent many times.
| Message | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Lots of people are signing up from your network right now. Please try again in a few minutes, or continue with Google." | Many sign-ups from your network in the last hour | Wait a few minutes, use Sign up with Google, or switch network |
| "Too many sign-up attempts for this e-mail address. Please try again later, or sign in / reset your password." | The form was sent many times for this mailbox | Try to sign in, or reset the password; the account may already exist |
| "Too many new accounts from this network. Try again in an hour." (with Google) | Many new Google accounts from your network | Wait up to an hour, or switch network |
| "Email already registered" | The account was created on an earlier try | Sign in: Sign-up says the email is already registered |
| "The security check did not pass..." | Not a limit: the check against bots failed | See Sign-up says the security check did not pass |
If several people in one place sign up together, for example a class or a team at an event, they share one network and can reach the limit. Let each person use Sign up with Google, or sign up from their phone on mobile data, or spread the sign-ups over time. If they will work in one account, the owner can invite them as team members, and each accepts with their own email: Invite team members to your account.
Automated scripts try to open many accounts at once from one place, for example to take the trial again and again. A limit per network and per mailbox stops that while real people continue. It applies only to new accounts: signing in to an existing account is not affected. Wrong passwords at sign-in have their own, separate limit: Too many sign-in attempts: try again in 15 minutes.
Write to [email protected] if you still cannot sign up after an hour on a different network, or if you need to open several accounts for an organization at once. Send the email you tried, the time, the network you were on (home, office, VPN), and a screenshot of the message. See When you are connected to a person.
Sign-up is limited per network and per mailbox within an hour. A shared network or many tries with one email reach the limit; it opens again by itself.
Often a few minutes for the network message. For the mailbox message, and for the Google network message, up to an hour.
Often yes, for the network message: Google sign-up has its own limit. If it also says too many new accounts, switch network or wait.
No. It applies only to opening new accounts. Signing in to an existing account works as usual.
Possibly, if one of the tries went through. Try to sign in, and look for our verification email.
