Generator UI sign in issues?

Hi All, I just joined this community and am really excited about creating generators! Unfortunately when I log in to the Generator UI site from Chrome or Safari on my Mac desktop, it immediately kicks me back out to the sign-in page. Same thing happens in Safari on my iPad. The only browser that allows me to stay signed in is Firefox on my Mac. Anyone else experience this?

This is a known issue and caused by your browser rejecting third-party cookies. If you are able to change the cookie settings for the site, that would be a workaround.

That did it, thanks! Hopefully the site can be more upfront with cookie requests so other users don't encounter the same issue in the future.

Agreed! That issue is hard to debug, hopefully this can be fixed ASAP.

I created a bug for it. We know of general issues concerning cookies from our different domains used for auto-login in the background. But I wasn't aware of this being acute on Generator UI. Either it can be resolved without switching the whole login cycle or I can at least add a hint to that cookie problem.

And in Safari on iOS there's not enough user control over cookie settings to get around this issue. Chrome on iOS was able to sign in, though.

I added a hint for now. We have another story in the backlog that will switch to another JS authentication behavior. But this is more work as likely server changes are also needed.

By the way, it seems that the "Remember My Login" option again has a short attention span. A minor inconvenience, but just for your information.
