Pi Network’s KYC Chaos: Users Fume as Verification Hits Snags—Here’s How to Clear It
Pi Network’s ’decentralized’ dream meets centralized reality as users rage over KYC roadblocks. The crypto project—which somehow still isn’t tradeable—now faces backlash over verification delays that’d make a traditional bank blush.
Cut the queue: Upload high-res ID docs under 2MB, ensure lighting’s perfect (yes, really), and pray the AI doesn’t ghost you. Pro tip: Avoid VPNs unless you enjoy support ticket purgatory.
Why bother? Because apparently those mined tokens will be worth something eventually—or so the 47 million ’engaged pioneers’ keep telling themselves between KYC retries.
Bonus irony: A project built to escape financial gatekeepers now polices identities harder than a Swiss private bank. Crypto, everybody.

If you’ve been having issues signing into your Pi Network account lately — you’re not alone. A growing number of users have reported login troubles, with many accidentally creating new accounts in the process. But don’t panic. There’s an easy way to get back into your original account without losing your mined Pi.
Common Login Issues and How to Fix Them
The Pi Network team has shared some useful steps for users struggling with account recovery:
If you signed up using Facebook or your phone number and password, make sure to log in with that same option.
If you’re prompted to create a new username, stop right there. This likely means you’re using the wrong login method. Try switching to the other option you might have used during registration.
Tap on ‘Continue with Facebook’ when signing in.
Tap on ‘Continue with Phone Number’ and enter your registered details.
No worries — just tap ‘Forgot Password’ or ‘Recover Account’ and follow the on-screen instructions.
Important Reminder:
If you accidentally create a new account, your mined Pi from your original account is not lost. Simply use the correct login method to recover your original account.
Community Voices Frustration Over KYC Challenges
While login issues persist, another concern making rounds in the Pi community is the complicated KYC (Know Your Customer) process. One user pointed out, “It’s concerning that so many are struggling with KYC. We need to make this process clearer and more accessible for everyone. Let’s not let verification hurdles hold back new crypto enthusiasts.”
