Network Connectivity Issues
One of the most common reasons for Notion inaccessibility is network connectivity issues. Ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet connection.

To resolve this issue, temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and try accessing Notion again. If this resolves the problem, add Notion to the list of trusted applications in your security software settings.
Server Outages
Notion, like any other online service, may experience occasional server outages. These outages can prevent users from accessing their accounts.

To regain access, you’ll need to reset your password by clicking on the “Forgot password?” link on the Notion login page. Follow the instructions to reset your password and regain access to your account.
