You have lost the password from your VKontakte, Facebook or other social network or you decided to log in to your own account from another device and cannot remember these cherished numbers. Logically click on the link "Forgot your password?" and try to restore it through the attached phone number or email address. During the last manipulation, a message pops up: "The number of requests per day has been exceeded." After that, your attempts to restore the password are futile - only this ill-fated warning appears before your eyes. What to do in this case?
Why it happens?
The error "Exceeded the limit of the number of requests per day" is not always evidence of a technical malfunction on the servers of the social network (although part of the unsuccessful torment with password recovery is precisely because of this). First of all, it is protecting your page from hacking. This warning should occur when you send a password reset request several times in 24 hours.
The system "thinks" that someone else is trying to find the password for your page in this way, which is why it only provides a limited number of attempts to restore the page access code in one day. So, you must admit, an attacker has almost no chance to enter the correct password from your account by random selection.
"Exceeded the limit of the number of requests per day": a simple solution
If you actually used the "Forgot your password?" Link service more than once a day, then you have only one way out: restore the access code only the next day, after a day. And it is advisable to do this the first time - so as not to wait another day. Or do not lose the opportunity to recover your password through a phone number or email account.
But what if the message on Facebook, VK “Exceeded the limit on the number of requests per day” appeared during the first or second attempt to restore access?
If you are logged in from a PC, laptop
In the event that you are sure that the warning is a site system error, you can do the following:
- Contact the support team "users" - this is the link "Help".
- Try to use another device to restore access - a computer, tablet, laptop, phone.
- Enter from another browser, for example, Yandex or Chrome.
- Check your device for viruses. If they are found, clean the computer, and then try again to reset the password to your page.
If you logged in from a smartphone, tablet
When the message "Exceeded the limit of the number of requests per day" appeared on the screen of a tablet or smartphone, try this:
- Log in to your account to restore access from another smartphone or other device.
- Try to restore access from a mobile browser or the official social network application.
- A smartphone or tablet can also defeat viruses and malware. Download the anti-virus application, clean your phone from threats, and then return to password recovery attempts.
- If you are recovering the access code from the browser of your device, then switch from mobile to the full version of the page and try again.
- If all methods are unsuccessful, contact the technical support service using the "Help" link.
Thus, as practice shows, the warning "Exceeded the limit on the number of requests per day" is more typical for devices such as smartphones and tablets. In particular, when trying to restore access through an application or a mobile browser version of the site. The problem in most cases is solved by visiting your page through another device or by recovering a password on the full version of the resource.
