This started happening late yesterday. Perhaps after a patch - I'm not sure, we aren't given a patch schedule.
I got it once. I then made sure I was using the correct password and tried again. I tried using both my email address to login, and my ID. Neither worked.
I waited 10 minutes and tried again. No.
I waited an hour and tried again. Still no.
I waited until this morning and tried again. Still no.
its ip related. try switching your modem off for a reasonable amount of time so that you get a new ip. I had mine off for 7 hours and hey presto, new ip and success
I used the Linksys router option #1. Once I finished this, I restarted the launcher for NW and it allowed me to login without the "too many attempts" error. It does however have a gigantic patch. I'm not sure if this is just a regular patch, or something it's doing because it sees my new IP and thinks I don't have the proper info. Anyway, hope this helps.
