Just traded in my old iPhone 5 for the iPhone 6s Plus. I had the app on the old phone and renown loaded it to this phone. Now when I try to sign in or even set up my Fitbit again, it won't let me sign in or use a new email address. What should I do?

Hello @DANIELLE2014X, thanks for joining the conversation and the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. Smiley Happy

 

I appreciate you have brought this to my attention and for letting me know you have already tried some troubleshooting steps. At this moment I would like to ask you to turn off WiFi on your phone and then try to log in again using your cellular data. Once you're able to log in, turn WiFi again. If this doesn't seem to work, please let me know so I can check this further. 

 

I hope this can be helpful, if there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.

Hello, I have tried this as well as deleting the app and reinstalling it twice, restarting my phone in between and resetting my password. I also tried logging in with both the WiFi and Bluetooth turned off after the app was reinstalled and phone restarted. I have also force closed the app and tried the above but no luck.

I appreciate you have taken the time to share your experience with me and for sharing the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far. Tell me, are you getting an error message when trying to log in to your account? Have you updated the Fitbit app recently? We have just released a new version.

I appreciate you have come back with a screenshot of the error you're getting when trying to log in to your account. With the information you had provided earlier and the screenshot, I will forward this to our development team so they can take a better look at this situation, as you have already uninstalled/reinstalled the app and tried to log in with WiFi and cellular data. 

 

Thanks for your patience and understanding, once I have more information to share with you about this issue, I'll make sure to update this thread to let you know. 

 

Happy stepping!

Add me to the list of not being able to log into the app.  Ever since the 2.76 update I havent been able to sync/re-add my device/login.  Ive tried all of the suggestions on this and other threads.

Is there an update for the app on the near horizon?

Add me to that list as well.  Ever since the update, it works about 10% of the time.  I even tried reloading the app, no luck.
