**Error 401 when logging into Genymotion—Quick Guide to Resolve the Issue**

This error is usually caused by insecure login or IP-related restrictions. Depending on the version you are using, follow the steps below:

- If you are using Genymotion Cloud (SaaS):

- Common cause: Entering the wrong password three times in a short period.

- Actions:

1) Wait for 60 minutes.

2) Reset your account password on the cloud.geny.io/password-reset website.

3) Try logging in again with the correct credentials.

4) Avoid making more than two attempts within a limited time to prevent your IP from being blocked again.

- If you are using Genymotion Desktop:

- Common cause: Excessive failed login attempts followed by a temporary IP block for 24 hours.

- Network and Security Notes:

- Ensure that your company's firewall and network allow access to Genymotion domains:

- Outbound traffic to ports 80 and 443 for *.genymotion.com and *.geny.io

- If you are in an organizational environment, ask your IT team if these ports are open.
