Hi, I had to use a friend's account to make this post because I can't login to my Forum account (explanation below):


After September ban wave, which iOS 14 and IITC users received a strike, I was one of the people who also received a strike. When requesting a ban appeal, I received the message that they were unable to find an account associated with the codename and e-mail I entered. However, the e-mail address and codename were correctly.

I requested another ban appeal and received the same message again. So I texted the game chat in the "Contact Us" tab asking why they were not finding my codename associated with the e-mail I had sent and if there was anything I could do. The answer was that after reviewing my account, they confirmed that the e-mail is indeed associated with the given codename, so I thought everything was resolved.

A week after the stike, access to Intel Map and COMM were restored again, as expected, although I did not receive any messages when logging into the updated game to confirm whether the ban was removed or not.

However two weeks after the strike, even though I stopped using IITC, I was unable to log in to Intel Map and Forums.

When trying to log in Intel Map using both Google and Facebook login methods, the message they show is: "Account not found. Create an Ingress account via the Ingress mobile app.". And when trying to enter the Wayfarer Forum and / or Ingress Forum, trying through the three available login methods (Apple, Facebook and Google), they show the message: "Something went wrong, please try again."

I can still log into the game normally, Mission Creator and Wayfarer. It's just not entering Intel Map and Forums. What makes me even more confused, why can't I log in to Intel Map and Forums, but I can access the game, Wayfarer and Mission Creator?


Anyway, this message is not only about ban appeal, I was using IITC and I understand the strike. But to try to understand what is happening with my account and why Niantic are not finding my codename associated with my e-mail in any of the available login methods. (There was no codename change in my account and the e-mail remains the same).

I have the account associated with all login methods (Google, Facebook and Apple), and I normally use Google's login method. I've been playing daily since 2017 and I've been to several events like Mission Days and Anomaly. I used a lot of my life time in this game, just to lose my account due to a possible bug. What is also worrying me is: because Niantic are not finding my codename associated with my e-mail and saying that it does not exist, may I not receive the new badges such as IFS badge, year badge etc?


Tickets: #9825013, #9885217, #9945588, #9949808 (all of them received the automatic response and were unable to answer or resolve the login issue and why they cannot find the codename associated with the correctly informed e-mail.)

I was unable to find ticket numbers for messages sent to support via the game chat.

Ticket: #10050375 (this was the last call I made to support on 10/07, but I haven't had an answer yet).

I check my e-mails daily, in the trash, spam etc. And I log in using the correct e-mail that is linked to my codename. In case someone tells me to do this.


Can someone help me? What can I do to regain normal access to my account? @NianticBrian @NianticCasey @NianticPooja @NianticAndres @NianticAustin @NianticOfficial


Sorry for any mistake in writing, English is not my native language. Thank you!

    Does your account name include any unusual characters (accents or punctuation perhaps) or any confusing uses of similar characters (like O/0 or l/1)?

  • I had a issue similar to this with my account. I can't log into the forums and I can't log into Intel Map either.

    I had to use my friend's account to be able to make a post on the forum, but until today no one from Niantic answered me either in my post, nor by email to the support I sent. Niantic's lack of communication is revolting.

    Can someone for God's sake answer me, please? @NianticAndres @NianticAustin @NianticBC @NianticBrian @NianticCasey @NianticPooja


    I have been trying to contact support for more than a month to resolve the login issue reported in the post above and follow without ANY response from any Niantic member.


    The only things I was able to log into were Wayfarer and Mission Creator. as stated in the post above. But now I am unable to log into Wayfarer.


    I was reviewing on Wayfarer today in the afternoon, and now 3 hours later, I am not able to log in to my Wayfarer account either. It says that the account is not eligible and that I am not at level 10, but I have been level 10+ since 2017 and even recursed.


    Can any Niantic member give a signal of what may be happening to my account and why am I unable to log into Intel Map, Forums and now Wayfarer? Mission Creator and the game are running normally. I'm login using the correct e-mail that is linked to my codename.


    #10539244 Ticket number for the last message on the support I sent and I didn't get a response.

  • i can't login intel map, i have the same problem from almost 6 months ago
