Hello, I use CB in Version 2.0.15 on a Joomla 3.6.2 Website. Everything is on last release. Normally logging in for users is not a problem. But one specific user gets an error when trying to log in:

Error! Your login attempt was blocked. Reason: Login-Sharing

I have translated this from German, but the reason is displayed in english: "login-sharing"

I changed the Username and password and even the mail adress of this user, but the issue remains. So I think this must rely on the User ID. This user could login in the past, the error ocurred some days ago and neither the user nor I do have an idea what happened.

I have tried to find solutions in Google and in the forums of developers whose components I use in this Joomla installation. Of course I looked in here, too. But I could not even find an explanation what this is: login-sharing. I have never heard of that before and did not have this problem ever.

Does anyone have an idea what causes this problem and how to solve it ?

Regards
Tom

Most likely you have CB Antispam installed and configured to not allow login sharing.
