Hello @justsomeguyinla,

Thanks for reaching out and the detailed description.

Please follow these steps exactly to connect Pinterest with Blog2Social:
– Delete all connection to Pinterest in Blog2Social using the trash icon.
– Please log into Pinterest in a private/incognito window in your browser.
– Make sure to type username and password by hand, do not copy it.

If you can get a connection in this incognito window, log out of Pinterest there and in every other window as well as on your pc and mobile. There cannot be an ongoing connection to Pinterest.

Please note: Do not use your Facebook or Google+ login to connect Blog2Social with Pinterest. Only use the email and password of your Pinterest account.

If you connect Pinterest with Blog2Social, Pinterest might report that a server from Germany by Cologne area is trying to access your account. This is due to the fact that the Blog2Social server is located there. It’s just a security notice to make sure the access is safe. Please confirm the access with ‘That was me’, so that you can connect Pinterest to Blog2Social.

Let me know if you have further questions and if you can connect Pinterest with Blog2Social.

If you have any further questions or suggestions you can contact us at customer-service(at)blog2social(dot)com.

Your email is not working its throwing back a mailer deamon:

The response from the remote server was:

I am having this issue and I have tried everything you put above and it will not work.

Hello @madisonincproductions,

Hi, I have the same problem with pinterest, I tried to wipe cache, sign out from all accounts, but nothing have worked.
Is it possible that there is a common problem?

I’ll try to send you a mail

I followed your detailed steps and I am still getting “Sign up failed. Please check your login.”

I just sent a note to your support address.

Thank you for lettings us know, @rednotizieoggi and @justsomeguyinla.

You did everything right, when trying to solve the login fail. Since yesterday, Pinterest is working on their login routine to limit and stop spammers, but in very rare cases this can impact users who don’t do anything wrong.

Pinterest is already working to fix these limits to stop spammers without affecting real people.

This means that at this moment, there can appear temporary interferences when accessing Pinterest. You can find more information about this topic here: https://help.pinterest.com/en/article/cant-log-in-because-of-suspicious-activity .

Hello @ultra011,

Thanks for your feedback.

You mentioned that you checked your login on the Pinterest website. Do I understand you correctly that you are able to log into your Pinterest account (different webbrowser) and your Pinterest (smartphone) app?

May I ask which internet browser do you use to manage your blog?
