When was the last time you updated your operating system? Your OS might be bugging out if it has been a while.

Here's what you do:
Are you still having trouble? It might be time to contact the Snapchat support team and ask them for support. The app may be acting up because of a complex software problem that only they can fix.
If their servers are down, the issue could be pop up for this reason. Ask Snapchat support when it will be back up again. Don't expect it to be back up anytime soon, though. It might take a couple of hours for this.

Although this may seem like a complex problem, fixing it is easy. You're most likely dealing with a glitch. All you need to do is restart your device. Just keep in mind that the restart procedure differs depending on the phone that you own.
Other than that, the Snapchat servers could be down. Visit the Snapchat page to check whether this is the case.
Of course, you could have a bug on your hands. I've run through how to install software updates to fix this in the section above.
Just like with the error, you may not be entering the correct username or password.
It's easy to fix the "oops we couldn't find matching credentials on Snapchat" error. I've faced the same message before - it logged me out of my connected Snapchat account.
Force-stopping the app can clear the "matching credentials on Snapchat" error. So can updating it. You could also upgrade your operating system. It might be bugging out.
Alternatively, maybe you can't gain access to your Snapchat account because you've been entering the wrong password combinations, or the wrong username. So, the error could have been popping up because of failed account access attempts. If you forgot the password, you can regain access by going to the login page, then clicking on the password reset link.
If your matching credentials on Snapchat are wrong and you don't remember changing them, your account may have been hacked. You may have been notified of someone trying to break in from an unknown location. Contact Snapchat support about the suspicious activity.
I have also touched on some additional information, like what to do on Snapchat accounts when the login page doesn't work.
Hopefully you found all the points discussed useful. They will work no matter whether you have an iOS or Android device.
