Too many login attempts

[cmcraft]

Hello!

It appears I've lost the ability to log into the multiplayer menu via steam. The error I receive is "Too many failed login attempts..." etc.

Code: Select all

  72.800 Info AuthServerConnector.cpp:54: Auth server returned error: {"data":{},"error":"login-too-many-attempts","message":"Too many failed login attempts. Please try again later. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it at https://factorio.com/."}

Is there anything I can do to fix the issue?

Thanks for your help!

You probably have an outdated Factorio server setup somewhere in you home network mindlessly sending invalid authentication requests to the auth server. Find that server, stop it and after a few hours you'll be able to log in again.

Ah, now that I think of it I do have an old server hanging out. Thank you!
