Can't sign into social club. So can't play the game.

e-mail and password is not being accepted.

RockStar is a joke on this regard.

10 times the security just to log in, and that fails.

Zero security on the ACTUAL game lobbies

Are you entering your Steam email and password?
You need a Rockstar SocialClub account. That is a totally different login.
Ensure you can login (or recover account / reset password) by going here:
https://socialclub.rockstargames.com

I'm tired of the social club

Maybe because you haven't create it yet?

You don't just login there using your Steam Account info.
SocialClub has it's own account.

Double check your account login via their official website first.

@sacha! - due to your playtime/achieves -

There's also the "Email not found, or password is invalid." error....
Which can happen for many reasons. 2 of the common ones are -

Date/time not sync'd (though not tested this recently on the newer launcher/sc updates)
edit - just did, back a year, won't sign in for me. 'ahead' 5 months - 'activation required'

and

Controlled folder access blocking R* launcher / social club.
Search windows for 'controlled folder access' and see if it is enabled in windows.
If it is enabled - you should be able to allow rdr2/gta5, r* launcher, and social club helper.
Or just open rdr2/gta5 while in that window - and it should show apps that are blocked.
(or you can turn it off to test etc)...... other av/sec, permissions/issues, can cause this too.

edit - As for the eula/tos stuff below.... No amount of agree'n to that is going to fix controlled folder access blocking rdr2, gta5, r* laucher, or social club. As for the desktop icon also no longer functioning...... I mean.. it works fine here. I can imagine a few reasons 'why' it would cease to work 'somewhere' else.

I had similar issues and spent near a day googling solutions and finding none. As the sun was going down and I had no energy left to be angry and felt calm and noticed that RockStar had changed their rules and wanted you to go to the RockStar site and 'click' agree to the new rules and only after I agreed did they allow me back into my account and game. So, check that

When starting the game I received the 'Error Code 1005', Social Club. followed the instructions provided and still didn't help. Spent many hours looking up different remedies with no success. As I sat wondering, I remembered something that I had read that had nothing to do w/ this 1005 code. Someone could not save their game without disabling
their Firewall and Anti-Virus software so that's what I tried and the game finished downloading. Once started, I paused the game and enabled those 2 items and have no problems quitting and starting my game.

#1 Solution:

Check your "protected folder" status on Windows security.

99% of the time, windows blocks Rockstar and social club from accessing your PC folders.

click on the folder and you may see Rockstar and/or social club as being blocked.

Click on "allow access" then re-launch.

it's a pain, but something with Rockstar Launcher and Social club pisses off built-in security of Windows and it has to be re-authorized access from time to time and even when updates roll out for things like the recent bounty hunter update.

If you still get blocked after fixing protected folder access issues, then that is something else entirely

Better yet, turn Defender off. It's pointless

I said this earlier but I forgot to add.. I had similar issues and spent near a day googling solutions and finding none. As the sun was going down and I had no energy left to be angry and felt calm and noticed that RockStar had changed their rules and wanted you to go to the RockStar site and 'click' agree to the new rules and only after I agreed did they allow me back into my account and game. So, check that.. Oh, and the desktop RDD2 icon no longer works, you can only start your game now through the RockStar launcher
