Here lately and regularly I get a message that my ip is blocked for too many log in attempts. Even though it is the first time I’ve tried to log in that day. Wait 5 minutes and no problem. This combined with having to log out in 2 different places is really getting annoying. ---

I don’t understand why you need to log out. I stay logged-in, and every time that I access this site, I am ready to post. 😕 ---

I have been just staying logged on during the day but log off when I know I am done. I also have had the logon too many times message first time I try to log on . I thought the system knew I needed to sort my sock drawer or something useful. ---

> [@VOLVO\_V70](#): > > I have been just staying logged on during the day but log off when I know I am done I guess that I am missing something here, and I ask this with all sincerity: **Why do I need to log-out of this site at the end of the day, or whenever I think that I am done?** With sites dealing with my financial accounts, I log in and then I log out as soon as I have finished my business, but… Why would I want/need to routinely log-out of a site where none of my financial information–or other personal information–is stored? 🤔 ---

I log out if I am logged in from work at my break time. I do get the same message quite often. ---

OK, @PvtPublic and @galant, I asked around and I’m told that discourse only locks you out if you try to log in six times **in one minute,** which seemed unlikely. We also confirmed that there’s no one else logging in from your IP address. Question from discourse, however unlikely this may be: are you logging in from multiple devices simultaneously? Also, could you please reproduce the error message text exactly? Finally, are you logging in from [community.cartalk.com](http://community.cartalk.com), or [cartalk.com](http://cartalk.com)? ---

I can imagine that sometimes (But definitely not all times) it happens I may still be logged in on another device. Which brings me to the other problem I mentioned. To totally log off I have to log off from [community.cartalk.com](http://community.cartalk.com) and then go to [cartalk.com](http://cartalk.com) and log off there also. Even though when I log on at [community.cartalk.com](http://community.cartalk.com) I am automatically logged in on [cartalk.com](http://cartalk.com). It seems they are now 2 totally separate sites when logging off but not when logging in. Which makes it really easy to not remember to log off both. ---

My home PC has the info saved, so when I log in, it happens automatically and I do NOT log out. When I am at work, the home PC is at idle/sleep. I wish I was fast enough to try 6 times in a minute! I do not remember the exact wording of the message, but it is something to the effect of “You have had too many attempts”. I will try again tomorrow and see. All of the above are for community.cartalk.
