Do you think it's because I'm trying from Brazil?

That's not the message most people have been reporting, but apparently access to Southwest's website is currently blocked for customers outside the US. They say they've been "working on a fix," but it's been over two months now with no resolution. They'll tell you to call. You can try using a VPN or proxy server set to show your location as in the US.

I tried logging in both last night and this morning for 2 different family member accounts and was not successful. When I clicked on "Need Help Logging In" got a similar error message as chuck1 above:

1015am Herb Daylight Time

Unable to login either via website or mobile app

Too bad the SWA IT Brain Trust isn't aware of the storms and resulting cascading delays & cancellations across the central part of the country yesterday so that they could perform their tinkering at another time.

Around midnight PST (9 hours ago) i couldn't login via the app or via mobile/chrome. But I was able to plug in confirmation code to complete checkin for my flight this morning, so not all is lost.

But just now I still can't login.

I also tried to bring up my flight tomorrow via conf code but didn't work... which is a bummer as I really want to change it. (Will just do it when i get to the airport with an actual person, in-person... the old fashioned way!!!)
