Hi there! I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble signing in to the Letterboxd app on your iPhone. To help you better, could you tell me if you’re seeing any specific error messages when you try to sign in? Also, have you been able to sign in successfully before on this device, or is this your first time trying?
In the meantime, here are some steps we can try to get you signed in:
1. Check your email and password: Make sure you’re entering the correct credentials. Sometimes, passwords saved by your phone’s keyboard might auto-fill incorrectly.
2. Force close and reopen the app: Double-tap your iPhone's home button or swipe up from the bottom (depending on your model), then swipe the Letterboxd app off the screen to close it completely. Open it again and try signing in.
3. Restart your iPhone: This can clear temporary glitches that prevent signing in.
4. Clear cache/storage for the app: On iOS, the closest we can get is to delete and reinstall the app: - Press and hold the Letterboxd app icon. - Tap "Remove App" then select "Delete App." - Go to the App Store and reinstall Letterboxd.
5. Check for app updates: Sometimes signing-in issues happen if you are running an outdated version of the app. Head over to the App Store and see if an update is available.
6. Try signing in via browser: Open Safari and go to Letterboxd sign in to check if your account credentials work there.
If after these steps you still can’t sign in and get a credentials error, it could be related to the app’s login flow on iOS, which some users have noted2.
Let me know what you’ve tried so far or if the error looks different, and we’ll take it from there!
Thanks for letting me know that the message says your registration time has expired. That usually means the app's sign-in session or the registration confirmation window is timing out before you complete the process.
Since you’re on iOS 18.6.2, here’s what we can try next to fix this registration time expiration issue:
1. Check your device’s date and time settings. Make sure your iPhone's date, time, and timezone are set to update automatically: - Go to Settings > General > Date & Time - Enable Set Automatically
If your phone’s clock is off, it can cause timeouts during registration or login.
2. Try signing in or registering again using a stable Wi-Fi network. Sometimes unstable mobile data can interfere with the registration timer.
3. Use the Safari browser to complete any registration process. If you’re trying to register via the app and timing out, try opening the sign-up or confirmation link in Safari on your iPhone instead.
4. Clear and reinstall the app (since you likely already tried this, only repeat if you haven’t removed the app in a little while): - Delete Letterboxd off your iPhone. - Restart your iPhone. - Reinstall the app fresh from the App Store.
5. Log into Letterboxd website directly at https://letterboxd.com to check if your account is active and to potentially complete registration steps there.
If these don’t resolve the issue, this might be related to a temporary issue with the app itself, as some users on similar mobile apps have reported time expiration errors that didn’t resolve by the usual fixes1.
Please try these and let me know what happens. I’m here to get you signed in smoothly! Are you able to see if your device time is set automatically for now?

It’s not the first time, messages appear saying that the registration time has expired
