Account security and access issues

If you're experiencing account security problems, suspicious activity, or access issues, use this guide to resolve them.

Account locked after multiple failed login attempts

Why this happens: After several incorrect password attempts, your account is temporarily locked for security reasons.

To unlock your account:

  1. Wait 15-30 minutes (the lockout is temporary)

  2. Try logging in again with the correct password (see: How to log in to ViralSweep)

  3. If you don't remember your password, use the password reset feature to set a new one

If lockouts keep happening: Your password might be incorrect. Use the password reset feature to set a new one.

Google authentication stopped working

Possible reasons and solutions:

  1. You're logged into the wrong Google account in your browser

    • Log out of Google completely

    • Log back in with the correct Google account

    • Try the ViralSweep login again (see: How to log in to ViralSweep)

  2. Your browser cookies are outdated

    • Clear cookies and cache from your browser settings

    • Close and reopen your browser

    • Try logging in again

  3. Your Google account was changed or deleted

    • Verify your Google account still exists and is active

    • If the account was deleted, you'll need to use email/password login instead

Someone else might have access to your account

Signs your account might be compromised:

  • You see promotions or activity you don't remember creating

  • Your payment method was changed

  • You can't log in (someone may have changed your password)

  • You received emails about account activity you didn't do

If you suspect unauthorized access, take these steps:

  1. Reset your password immediately using the password reset feature

  2. Check your account email and payment methods — make sure they're still correct

  3. Review your recent activity in your ViralSweep account for anything unfamiliar

  4. Contact support if you see unauthorized changes — we can help investigate

Lost access to your email address

If you no longer have access to the email address tied to your account:

  1. Try logging in with Google if the Google email in your browser matches your ViralSweep account (see: How to log in to ViralSweep)

  2. If that doesn't work, contact our support team with identity verification information so we can update your email address

Multi-account access issues

If you manage multiple ViralSweep accounts:

  • Each account needs its own email address (or Google account)

  • You can log out of one account and log into another

  • Use the account switcher in your dashboard (if available) to switch between accounts quickly

  • Never share account login credentials — each team member should have their own account

Contact support for security concerns

If you're concerned about your account security or believe you're experiencing unauthorized access, please contact our support team immediately with:

  • Description of the security concern

  • When you first noticed the issue

  • Any suspicious activity or changes
