    If you're referring to this account: BabyTooth, I can see that it has been locked out due to multiple failed login attempts. I have reactivated it now and flushed the login attempts, so please try to log in again.

    In case you forgot the password, you can reset by following this guide on How-to-reset-JotForm-account-password.

    Hi, thank you however, this keeps happening and my password is always saved and have never had a failed attempt so I would like to know how to make this stop happening. Also is there a way for me to stay logged in for the day?

    Hi, thank you for your response.

    You can also make use of the Log in with Google option if your account is connected to Google to prevent you from entering an incorrect password.

    Also if you've used browser autosave password feature, kindly make sure that the prefilled password is correct. Please also try to clear your browser cache and cookies as well. Here is a guide on How to Clear Caches and Cookies in Chrome.

    If the problem persists, please let us know.

    Ok, thanks. Do you think this will help with the locking out situation. I have the email saved as my log in but still get locked out.

    The lockout situation is caused by the HIPAA compliance security level. 

    The account is automatically locked when you fail to provide the right credentials when the system detects some unusual activity. And security is also the reason why the account automatically logs you out after a certain amount of time if you are not actively working on it. 

    The only way to prevent getting locked out of your account is by making sure the right credentials are provided when login.

    I've never seen a failed attempt on my end, I am able to log back in successfully but after awhile it tells my I've had 5 failed attempts when I haven't, I asked other people in the office who are using the app to have patients fill out in the back on an ipad and they never have any failed attempts either, that's what seems so confusing. I get locked out quite a bit, do you have any other suggestions

    Sorry for the frustrations caused. I have raised this to our back-end team so they can investigate this further. We will notify you as soon as we get an update. 

    Thank you.

    Thanks for looking into this, I've just been locked out again, could someone unlock the account again so we can keep using it

    I have reactivated the account. 

    Do you have multiple people log in with the account and making changes at the same time? 

    I believe that's the source of the issue; the system may detect this as a security threat and automatically suspends the account.

    Yes we do, it's the admin team and clinical that has the ipads to have patients fill out the forms while they are back there, so total of 5 of us usually. Is there something else we can do?

    Thanks so much, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I will most likely have to ask you to keep doing this for me until we can figure out what the issue is. I wish I knew if it was something I'm doing, whether it's the fact that it times out and I have to login multiple times or if it's something from jotform end. Hope to find out soon.

    Thanks again

    Hi there, 

    I've had the same issues again in the past couple days,wondering if anyone has figured out why this keeps happening.

    Thanks so much

    The issue, as mentioned by one of my colleagues, could be related to the multiple logins detected. Note that standard plans like yours are not intended for multiple (simultaneous) logins.

    I suggest letting the other users to sign up for their own free account, then you, as the account/form owner, can just assign the forms to them. In that way, only the forms are shared and not the login credentials. You can still view and consolidate all received submission via the their accounts when you use the said feature.

    Here's a guide on Adding-assignees-to-your-form.

    Related Guide/s:

    https://www.jotform.com/features/assign-forms/

    Please try that and see if the same issue persists.

    Also, there is no update yet at the moment regarding the escalate ticket, but I can see that it is still being looked at. You'll be informed as soon as there's an update.

    Thank you for your patience.
