I had to log out yesterday and haven't been able to log back in since. (Signed up with Google originally.) Tried several times, tried waiting several hours - it says the same thing: Error, cause unknown, try again later etc. I had to create a new account but I'd really to get my old one back. Couldn't find any other options to get in touch here. Please, help:)

did you try to resend your password?

No, because I'm using Google login, so there was no password set. I'm logged in on one device, so I can see my account, but it doesn't allow me to set a new password without the old one, which is kinda dumb since there's no old password. And, now I can't log in with any other device :-(

As soon as @Jan or @david are around they will help you.

This seems to be linked to Google-based login, Google's API has randomly started returning errors to our request but I can't see why.

For now, the solution should indeed be to reset your password. Even if you originally signed up using Google, requesting a password reset will allow you to log in normally - as long as you verified your email address after signup. Just visit https://www.tvmaze.com/account/passwordresetrequest (on the device where you are not logged in).

Thanks, that worked :-) I only tried to change my password which, of course wasn't possible... and never thought of the 'forgot your password option'.

Do you have problems to log into your personal google account or to login WITH your google account on tvmaze?
