Why is the login screen getting slower?

Notice that logging in takes longer and longer after a few failed attempts? That's not a malfunction — it's a security measure that protects your account.

What's happening

Ziber Team uses built-in delay protection. After 3 failed login attempts, a deliberate wait time is added to each subsequent attempt. The more often it fails, the longer the delay — increasing up to a maximum of 30 seconds per attempt.

Why does this exist?

This measure protects against attacks where a malicious party automatically tries thousands of passwords or codes. Without a delay, such an attacker could try hundreds of combinations per minute. With the increasing delay, that becomes practically impossible — every failed attempt costs more time, making automated attacks extremely slow and therefore pointless.

What should you do?

• Wait a moment. After the delay you can simply try again.
• Check your input. The most common cause is a typo in the password or an expired verification code. Take a moment to enter everything carefully.
• Sync the clock. If your 2FA codes keep getting rejected, your phone clock may be off. Read Fixing invalid code issues.
• Use a recovery code. Really can't get it to work with your authenticator app? Log in with a recovery code.

How long does the delay last?

The delay builds up gradually after the third failed attempt. After a successful login, the counter resets. There's no 24-hour lockout — as soon as you enter the correct details, you can always log in.
