Errors

Sign-in failed

OAuth or login fallback — ban denial or unmapped login API error.

Sign-in failed

Generic failure: OAuth path returns oauth_sign_in_failed when login is denied by ban after a successful provider link/email match, or the password-login form falls back to this when no clearer API message maps.

Why this happens

Often ban (user or IP) without a more specific public string. Also a catch-all on the login form. Distinct from Invalid email or password (credential mismatch) and Sign-in is currently disabled (site login closed).

Diagnose and fix

1. Member: try again; use forgot-password if unsure of credentials.

2. Admin: check Banned users / IPs for the account or client IP.

3. Confirm Login enabled is on.

4. For social: ensure the linked account is active and not banned.
