Encountering the "Wrong email/password combination" error when attempting to log in can be frustrating. If you have a Gmail address with a dot (e.g., john.doe@gmail.com) and are facing this issue, it's likely due to how your email address is stored in our database.
How did this issue start?
If your Gmail address contains a dot, like john.doe@gmail.com, and you used it to sign up for our services, our system has stored it without the dot as johndoe@gmail.com. As a result, when you try to log in with your usual address (john.doe@gmail.com), our system doesn't recognize it, leading to the "Wrong email/password combination" error.
What can I do to solve this issue?
-
Try logging in with your Gmail address without the dot: johndoe@gmail.com. This should work now.
-
Once successfully logged in, visit your account's settings page.
-
Here, you can update your email address to your preferred one, such as john.doe@gmail.com.
-
Don't forget to update your password if you want to change it as well.
Why did we make this change?
