    have you checked in the users table of the database connected your website to see which email is listed for your username?

    the database is normally available in a webhosting account in an area called PHPMYADMIN

    Use simple WP-Admin URL https://samanthacoleauthor.com/wp-admin.

    Clear your browser cache

    Lisa – yes, we looked in there and that email address is the same. We updated the password through there too and I still can’t get in.

    Mzaheerdad – Tried that several times last night and just now using the link you provided. I’m locked out again for 15 minutes as it didn’t work. I’ve cleared the cache twice since this all started.

    Same here.

    From tonight, can’t login anymore. I just get bounced back to the login panel (no error message or anything), and after a few attempts get challenged with anti-bot questions, but still unable to login.

    Another user whose machine was not logged off can still access the Control Panel fine (but he doesn’t have admin priviledges).

    I also tried creating an admin user directly in the database (using phpmyadmin) as suggested in : https://kinsta.com/blog/locked-out-of-wordpress-admin/ , but that login fails equally.

    It happened all of a sudden. I could swear I had logged in fine this morning or yesterday at the latest (I restart my browser every few hours, anyway…)

    Possibly some automatic version upgrade of something gone wrong ?

    (oh, and cache is not the issue; I tried another browser which had never logged into this WP before, same behavior)

    In case it may matter, I’m running under PHP 7.4.0 (tried to back off to 7.0.33, no change).

    Oh, and if hit “Lost your password?” I am sent (as expected) a mail with a password change link. I can change my password there, but then still cannot log in (either with the new or the old pw).

    OK, I’ve taken do hiding all my plugins (with FTP, moved them all to a separate folder), then re-enabling them one by one.

    JETPACK 8.1.1 (released last week) is the culprit (for me, for my site) !

    I’ve posted a follow-up support request in the Jetpack forum:
