Login issue with TikTok account
Sorry if I am creating this project "off-topic," as I do not know exactly where to best categorize it.
The main issue is that when logging into TikTok through the mobile app (iOS or Android), after entering the confirmation code received via email, a message appears stating that "Code timeout has expired," even though only a few seconds actually pass.
The problem does not depend on the device (iOS or Android) or network (Wi-Fi, mobile internet, VPN from different locations), as it occurs on different devices and under various conditions.
Meanwhile, everything works fine on the PC version - logging into the account in the browser is possible, everything functions correctly, and the account is not banned.
After attempting to reset the password, it started showing "Too many attempts. Please try again later."
Summary of the problem:
When trying to log into a TikTok account through the mobile app (iOS and Android), after entering the correct confirmation code sent to email, an error message appears:
"Code timeout has expired," even though only a few seconds have passed since receiving the email and entering the code.
The operating system does not affect the issue: it occurs on both iOS and Android.
Network conditions do not influence it: testing was done on different networks - mobile internet, Wi-Fi, VPNs from various countries - the result is the same.
Different devices: login attempts were made on several devices, but the problem repeats regardless of the phone model.
On the PC (TikTok browser version), login is successful without any errors.
The account is active, not blocked, not restricted, and there are no violations - this is confirmed by web login.
The email works fine, messages arrive instantly, and the code is copied immediately.
Update: Currently, after the last password change attempt, it shows "Too many attempts. Please try again later."

221 🔧 1. Wait for the "Too many attempts" timeout
TikTok automatically blocks login attempts after several failed tries — usually for 1–2 hours. Wait 2–3 hours (or better 4–6 if not critical), do not press anything and do not try to log in during this time.
---
📱 2. Clearing the app
… On Android:
Go to Settings → Apps → TikTok → Storage → Clear cache + clear data
Restart your phone
On iOS:
Delete TikTok completely
Reboot iPhone
Reinstall the app
---
🔐 3. Login via browser + Reset password (if not done)
If the code constantly "expires," try logging in through the browser, change the password there (it is still active), and then try to log in with the new password through the app.
---
🌍 4. Use a different regional connection (via VPN)
TikTok sometimes has issues with geozones — try a VPN installed directly on the phone, not just in the network. Recommended regions: Germany, Poland, Canada.
---
🧪 5. Alternative: log in through the browser on your phone
Until TikTok fixes the bug (which periodically occurs in different regions), you can log in via the browser version on your phone, which works the same as the app:
🔗 https://www.tiktok.com/login
---
🆘 6. Contact TikTok support (if not resolved within 24–48 hours)
If the problem does not disappear after 1–2 days:
Go to https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/feedback
Provide all the information you have already given (very clearly!)
Add a screenshot of the error (preferably with a clock, to show that the code was entered on time)
