Can't log in to the Starbucks app
VPN, Wi-Fi or a temporarily locked account
Starbucks says sign-in trouble is often caused by a VPN or by the Wi-Fi network you are on. After several failed attempts the account can also be locked for a few hours.
How to fix it
Turn off any VPN and try to sign in again.
On your phone, switch from Wi-Fi to cellular data.
Reset your password in the app or with Forgot Password on starbucks.com.
Delete the app, restart your phone, install the app again and sign in.
If you already tried many times, wait 2 to 3 hours before the next attempt.
