After refreshing a full sandbox, users may report that they are attempting to reset their password but receive an error when clicking the password reset link from the email received.


"Error: Maximum Logins Exceeded"


The 'Maximum Logins Exceeded' error occurs after a full sandbox refresh when an unexpected issue arises during the creation of the affected user or profile during the sandbox refresh process. This issue corrupts the user's login session counter, preventing them from resetting their password successfully.


There are two workarounds available to resolve this issue:

  • Change the profile of the affected user and then change it back.
  • Clone the user's assigned profile, then assign the new profile to the user.
Ratkaisu

Option 1: Change the Profile of the Affected User and Then Assign It Back

  1. Navigate to Setup and type User into the Quick Find box.
  2. Click Users:
    1. In Lightning Experience: Users | Users
    2. In Salesforce Classic: Manage Users | Users
  3. In the right-hand column of the user information, change the profile from its current setting to any other profile.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Click Edit on the same user.
  6. Assign the original profile back to the user.
  7. Click Save.

 

Option 2: Clone the Profile of the Affected User and Assign It to the User

  1. Navigate to Setup and type User into the Quick Find box.
  2. Click Users:
    1. In Lightning Experience: Users | Users
    2. In Salesforce Classic: Manage Users | Users
  3. Click on the impacted user.
  4. In the right-hand column, click their Profile.
  5. Click Clone.
  6. Enter a new profile name.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Return to Users.
  9. Click Edit next to the user's name.
  10. Assign the newly created profile.
  11. Click Save

After completing either option, try to reset the password again.
