SplashID Safe 8.4.x -- Cloudflare firewall protection block

SplashID Safe 8.4.x -- Cloudflare firewall protection block

Problem

When trying to log in to the SplashID 8.4.x Desktop (PC/Mac) or Mobile app, you may see one of the following issues:

  • Correct password being rejected

  • “Temporary Block” error

  • “Too Many Requests” error

  • “Operating in Offline Mode” error

  • Fully licensed app asks for a paid license, despite one being present

  • Next or Sign In button not reacting to clicks/taps for a newly installed 8.4.x Desktop or mobile app

This usually happens when your 8.4.x app(s) is/are temporarily blocked by our Cloudflare firewall protection.

Solution

Step 1: Restart Devices and Network

  • Restart your computer, phone, or tablet.

  • Restart your WiFi router and/or cable modem by unplugging it from power for 10–15 seconds, then reconnecting.

  • Alternatively, restart the router/modem from the Admin Panel (if you have access).

  • If you cannot restart the router/modem, skip this step.

Step 2: Check Network Settings

  • Disconnect or disable extra network interfaces, such as VPNs or Bluetooth connections.

Step 3: Collect IP Information

If the issue continues:

  1. On each affected device, visit https://www.whatismyip.com/.

  2. Copy the IP address shown and paste it directly into your support ticket.

  3. If copying is not possible, take a screenshot of the IP address instead.

Step 4: Submit a Support Ticket

  • Go to SplashID Support – New Ticket.

  • Include your IP address information:

    • Paste the copied IP address into the ticket description, or

    • Attach screenshots if you could not copy it.

    • If you have multiple devices, you can:

      • Combine screenshots into a ZIP file, or

      • Copy them into a Word (.docx) or PDF file and attach it.

Our system administrator will review your request and unblock your access if needed.


Step 5: What to do as a temporary workaround?

If using Cloud Sync, you can use our 8.4.0 Web app, if all your 8.4.x Desktop & mobile apps fail. 
This is accessible from your computer web browser, such as MS Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Brave/etc, or Safari on Mac.

Login URL for 8.4.0 Web app is here: https://www.splashid.com/login
(warning - please do not attempt using our Web app if you are not in Cloud Sync mode i.e. are using WiFi Sync or No Sync/Standalone mode)

If using WiFi Sync, putting mobile device or computer into Airplane mode may allow local access to your data.
Please do not delete & reinstall any 8.4.x mobile/Desktop apps - it will not fix your issue and may lose data.

If the 8.4.x apps are saying they are not licensed, despite your account having a proper Yearly, Monthly or Lifetime license, please do not (re)purchase one.
It will not help with your issue, even you pay. (but money may get charged)
