Why Does Bluesky Keep Logging Me Out or Not Send the 2FA Code?

Why does Bluesky keep logging me out or ask for a code? #

Bluesky's own pages document only a few sign-in checks. If you turned on email two-factor authentication, Bluesky emails you a security code when you sign in, and the Forgot link on the sign-in screen sends a reset code. The Help Center (read 3 October 2026) does not publish a list of reasons for a session to end, so when several accounts share one computer, the browser is the first place to look.

The screens Bluesky documents #

When the 2FA code does not arrive #

The Help Center article (updated 29 September 2026) gives this order:

1. Check the email address you entered for typos or extra characters.
2. Look in your spam, junk and promotions folders.
3. Make sure noreply@bsky.social is not blocked or marked as spam. The Help Center suggests adding it to your safe senders list.
4. Wait a few minutes before requesting a new code.
5. If nothing arrives, email support@bsky.app with your email address and user handle.

The documented routes are fixing delivery or asking support. Nothing in the pages read offers a way to skip the code.

Why a browser may sign you out when accounts share a computer #

These causes come from how browsers store sign-ins, not from Bluesky, which is why Bluesky's pages do not list them.

• A different browser profile. Chromium's documentation lists cookies among profile data, and each profile is its own subfolder. A Bluesky tab in profile A therefore has no sign-in from profile B.
• Deleted cookies or site data. Chrome's help says that deleting cookies may sign you out of sites that remember you.
• A private window. Chrome says it does not retain site data once an Incognito session ends, so the next private window starts signed out.
• Several accounts in one profile. On desktop web, click your profile picture to open the quick account switcher and see which account is active before assuming you were signed out.
• Several people on one login. The code goes to one mailbox, and the Terms say not to share your account with others.

Service problems and the rate-limit message #

Bluesky runs a status page at status.bsky.app with separate entries for its website and app and for its network infrastructure, and it offers email, Slack, webhook, RSS and Atom subscriptions. If sign-in fails for everyone, check it before changing anything on your side.

No official page read for this guide explains a "rate limit exceeded" message. Bluesky's Community Guidelines list rate limits among the systems users must not try to get around, so do not retry in a loop or with scripts. The only related guidance is the Help Center's advice to wait a few minutes before requesting a new code.

If you can no longer read the account's mailbox #

Codes go to the address linked to the account, so a closed mailbox blocks them. The Help Center's article on changing an email address explains the catch: once an address is verified, changing it needs a confirmation code sent to the address currently on the account. If you cannot receive that code after the delivery checks above, the article says to contact support@bsky.app using the email address linked to your account and to include your user handle. If you still control both addresses, change the account email first. The article also suggests refreshing the app or browser before you begin.

If you think someone else has your login #

1. Report it. The Terms ask you to write to support@bsky.app if you believe your account has been compromised.
2. Change the password. Version 1.68 added a password change to Settings.
3. Review App Passwords. Bluesky Safety describes them as revokable passwords for third-party tools, created under Settings, Advanced, App Passwords.
4. Check the account email. Settings, Account, Update email, as the Help Center describes.

If Bluesky suspends an account, the Terms say you may appeal with the in-app tool or by emailing moderation@blueskyweb.xyz. The rules guide covers appeals in more detail.

Where ADSSPEED fits #

ADSSPEED is a desktop app for Windows and macOS that manages many browser profiles. Each profile keeps its own cookies, local data and browser settings, so accounts you manage can stay signed in side by side without signing each other out. Profiles can be opened, stopped and organised in bulk, a proxy can be set per profile, and profile data stays on your own computer. It does not change what Bluesky asks of you at sign-in. ADSSPEED is not affiliated with Bluesky. For ordinary profiles, see what a browser profile is.
