I see "Incorrect password" events for my account — what should I do?

Last updated on Mar 12, 2026

Short Answer: Try signing in again carefully, check Caps Lock and your username, verify your password manager entry, and use your organization’s password recovery process or contact your administrator if the issue continues.

PreRequisites

  1. Access to the account sign-in process or the ability to contact your administrator.

Steps

  1. Verify that you are entering the correct username and password, and ensure Caps Lock is turned off.
    Confirm that the credentials entered are correct.

  2. If you use a password manager, paste the saved password instead of typing it manually.
    This helps avoid typing mistakes.

  3. If sign-in still fails, follow your organization’s password recovery process (for example, using the password reset flow provided by your organization) or contact your administrator.
    You either regain access through password reset or receive support guidance.

  4. If you notice multiple failed attempts in the logs, notify your administrator or security team so they can check for possible automated login attempts.
    Your admin can investigate and take protective actions if needed.

Troubleshooting

  1. "Incorrect password" events continue even after resetting your password.

    Likely Cause: A system, integration, or device may still be trying to sign in using old stored credentials.

    Action:

    • Update saved passwords on all devices and applications.

    • Ask users or systems that access the account to update their stored credentials.

    • Have your administrator review active integrations or automated processes.

Note: The Access logs show "Incorrect password" events as indicators of failed login attempts. If the issue persists or appears suspicious, follow your organization’s security and account recovery procedures.
