Why do I keep getting the ‘Too many failed login attempts’ error in Banktivity for Mac?

Posted on November 28, 2023November 28, 2023 by Kristen Barth

To resolve this error, please make sure you sign out of your Banktivity ID from ALL devices (Macs & iOS Devices) first, then try resetting your Banktivity ID password through the following steps:

– Open Banktivity
– Go to File> Subscription > Banktivity ID then click “Lost Password”
– Enter the email address you used when starting your Banktivity ID and  then click “Send Recovery Email”
– Check your email for a message from no_reply@iggsoftware.com, the subject should be “IGG Customer Account Lost Password”. Open the email and click in the link contained in the email, then enter your new password.
– Enter your Login and Password in the “Banktivity ID Login” window.

Note: The email will also contain the Login ID name for your Banktivity ID account. The second line of the email should say “In case you don’t know your login, it is: ___” (this may or may not be your email address).

Once you’ve reset your Banktivity ID password, then go ahead and try to sign into your Banktivity ID on any other Macs and/or iOS devices.
