Last updated
Having trouble with “Can’t authenticate Pokemon GO”? You’re not alone, but we’re here to help! Let’s dive into what this means and how you can fix it.
So, you’re trying to log into Pokemon GO, but it’s not letting you in? It keeps saying “Can’t authenticate”? Let’s figure out what’s up and how to get you back to catching Pokemon in no time!
Quick Fix for Authentication Issues
Most of the time, this pesky “Can’t authenticate” message pops up because of server issues or login problems. First, check if the Pokemon GO servers are up and running. If they are, try logging in again. Sometimes, just giving it another go works wonders!
If simply retrying doesn’t cut it, try restarting your device or checking your internet connection. A weak signal might be the culprit. For those using a Google account to log in, clearing the cache from your Google Play Services might also help. If all else fails, uninstalling and reinstalling Pokemon GO can get things back on track.
