Logon to TikTok "too many attempts" error.

[jwalway]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but I'm curious about an issue that arose when I (and another person) tried browsing with the CefSharp.MinimalExample.Wpf.netcore browser. I tried logging onto my TikTok account and it came up with the error "Too many attempts." I was finally able to login, but my friend is having the same problem and he can find no way around it. He can login fine with the standard chrome browser.

I compiled all of this in Visual Studio using .Net 6.0. Any idea what this could be?

Thanks for any help!

It's not uncommon for high profile websites to specifically block embedded browsers, so that's something to keep in mind. There are a number of debugging steps you can try.

• You can check the log file for errors see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Trouble-Shooting#log-file
• You can also try disabling CEF request interception.

settings.CefCommandLineArgs.Add("disable-request-handling-for-testing")

• Trying a different user agent might be worth trying also

Your friend might be blocked and has to wait a period of time before attempting another login attempt.
