    Same thing happened to me, twice. My tries were about 1 hour apart and it let me log in after about 3 attempts. Others from the Guild have reported the same problem.

    I changed my password, just in case some malicious hacking try is happening to me.

    It only happened to me one time last week. I wrote the contact us link immediately, expressing my concern about a potential hacker and to please rectify. I then tried logging onto the regular web page via my phone and got the same result. By this time three other members of my clan were asking if I was having this trouble. It seems that was a solitary incident and likely proves the site's security is functioning well against hackers who use the trial and error method (which is most of them).

    That was exactly the case. We also banned the IP associated with the attempt.

    Thank you ever so much! I don't believe I've ever felt quite as safe at any other website! Have a blessed day!
