Hi guys,

I've been looking for a way to learn web development and have really been enjoying the material you guys have put together, so thank you.

I have a login issue I can't figure out and didn't see a duplicate looking through the issues.

Issue Description

  • When I login with github from my mac mini on any browser, it does not work. I get a red error saying Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. I get redirected back to http://www.freecodecamp.com/map, and I'm not logged in.

Things I have tried on the mac mini:

  • Github login after hard refresh / clearing all of the browser cache
  • Github login on Firefox, Safari, Chrome
  • Github login in private browsing mode (all browsers)

But the weird thing is, I can successfully use github to login with 3 other computers:

  • Acer Chromebook (ChromeOS 48.0.2564.116 (64-bit))
  • Macbook Pro (OSX El Capitan)
  • Thinkpad (Ubuntu 14.04)

Browser Information (mac mini)

  • Firefox 43.0.4
  • Chrome 49.0.2623.87 (64-bit)
  • Safari 9.0.3 (11601.4.4)
  • OS: OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15D21)

Screenshot

  • Login Error (mac mini)
    login_error

  • Login Success (thinkpad ubuntu)
    login_success

Other Information

I have HAR files of logging in using the mac mini (error) and chromebook (success) for the GET requests of:

  • GET github
  • GET authorize?response_type=code&redirect_uri...
  • GET callback?code=...
  • (mac mini, error) GET map
  • (others, success) GET trigger-click-events-with-jquery

I can share a link to these files to you privately, but I would rather not post them here in case the files have my cookie information, and they're a bit big (12 MB total).

Hi @samk64 Apologies for the inconvenience you have been facing. We have lately had some reports to similar login issues, but yours seems a bit different with a specific device as you mention.

We will keep you posted on this via this thread, however please note that it might be a while, before we can find someone with the same specific device to reproduce and analyse the error.

Thanking you for your patience in the meantime.

Has anyone else replicated?

This is not me. I do not or have ever owned a mini Mac. Please take off.
