I got on my PC today and noticed that yiffit, my homepage, won’t log me in and just keeps giving this red banner popup in the left corner that says “error incorrect_login.”
I know it’s not my login/password combo; I am able to use Jerboa and Firefox on my phone to log in and do stuff (that’s how I am writing this post!) but on my computer it won’t let me in! Cleared the history, cache, saved info, etc and it just keeps giving me this damn error even when I try to open the login page to make sure it’s trying the right info.
The main page itself just gives me the standard “server issue” error that I assume is Lemmy’s default error page when it can’t reach the server. But again, I am only getting this problem on my PC; my other devices allow me to browse and post just fine, so I have no idea what the heck is going on here. Is it my end or the server?
pawb was having an issue related to logins where the cookie was not set correctly. https://yiffit.net/post/13488055
The lemmy front end is almost exclusively javascript making api calls. I tested just now and it worked for me.
If its a related issue, some additional info and debug steps https://yiffit.net/post/12321196 (you can say hi to my alter ego).
Some quick things to try, private window to ensure no login data sneaked by the clear. Create a fresh profile with no plugins to test.
You know I think I had this before when they updated to 0.19 originally, too. Now I’m wondering if I just forgot to tick the box for clearing cookies when I did all that…
Edit: No; I did clear cookies. Hm.
