Can't log in to Genshin Impact

Wrong details, account lock or network trouble

Signing in to the HoYoverse account fails or times out. HoYoverse lists wrong passwords, missing verification codes, locked accounts, network timeouts and linked platform logins as the usual reasons.

Is Genshin Impact down right now? Operational: 3 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Check your username and password for typos, or reset the password with Forgot Password.

  2. Switch to another network or restart your router.

  3. Make sure a linked Google, PlayStation or Facebook account is still active and allowed.

  4. On mobile, update the app; on PC, clear the launcher cache or reinstall the launcher.

  5. On console, check whether PlayStation Network or Xbox network has an outage.
