Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Fitbit account lockout last?
A Fitbit account lockout typically lasts 30 minutes from the last failed login attempt. However, repeated lockouts may result in longer waiting periods.
Why is my Fitbit account getting locked repeatedly?
Repeated lockouts usually indicate you're using an incorrect password, someone else is trying to access your account, or your browser has saved outdated login credentials. Reset your password and clear browser data to resolve this.
Can I still use my Fitbit device when my account is locked?
Yes, your Fitbit device will continue tracking your activity during an account lockout, but the data won't sync to your account until you regain access and the device connects to the app again.
What should I do if I don't receive the password reset email?
Check your spam/junk folder first. If still not found, ensure you're using the correct email address associated with your Fitbit account. Wait a few minutes and try requesting another reset email.
Will I lose my fitness data if my account gets locked?
No, your historical fitness data stored on Fitbit's servers remains safe during an account lockout. Recent data on your device will sync once you regain account access.
