8 different people have complained about this since 05 Aug 2026, most recently on 30 Oct 2026. 2 of them in the last 30 days.
- “Zalo — Tài khoản bị lỗi h muốn đăng nhập lại mà xoá hết tất cả dữ liệu h liên hệ lấy lại ko được.”
- “Tôi mệt mỏi với khoản đăng nhập vô cùng, đã thế còn hay phải sao lưu gì gì nữa chứ, mất hết tin nhắn”
- “Zalo — không có nhiều lựa chọn để đăng nhập.”

Is this a startup idea?
Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use — the fix belongs first to that provider.

Questions about this idea
- Is Frustrating login and account recovery process a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 8 different people described it independently, in 8 mentions, the earliest from 05 Aug 2026 and the most recent from 30 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 2 people raised it in the last 30 days and 3 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
