SIGNIN_CREDENTIALS_REJECTED

401auth

Sign-in was refused.

Cause

The email/password pair presented to the portal sign-in endpoint was not accepted. The response deliberately does not say which half was wrong: this endpoint is unauthenticated, so distinguishing "no such account" from "wrong password" would let anyone use it to discover which addresses are registered.

How to fix it

Re-enter the email and password. If the account exists but has never confirmed its signup code you will get USER_NOT_CONFIRMED instead; if the password is genuinely lost, start the reset flow.
