# “Unusual login attempts” – your login is locked

After several wrong login codes we temporarily lock access. Here’s how to unlock your account again.

To protect your account, we temporarily lock the login when a wrong code is entered several times in a row. The lock kicks in from the sixth failed attempt – including when you triggered it yourself by mistyping.

# How to unlock your account

You have two options:

-   **By email:** we send you an email titled “Unusual login attempts for your Steady account” with an unlock button. One click is enough.
    
-   **Wait it out:** the lock expires automatically two hours after the **last** attempt. Important: every further login attempt restarts those two hours, so do wait it out.
    

# Why does this happen?

Usually it is harmless: an old code from an earlier email, a typo, or a code that was already used. Every login code works **once** and expires after **30 minutes** – so always use the code from the most recent email. More on this: [How to log in to Steady](https://help.steadyhq.com/en/articles/15764714).

If those login attempts weren’t you, someone probably tried your email address. They cannot get into your account: signing in is impossible without the code from your inbox, and Steady has no passwords that could be stolen.
