I recently got logged out of chat somehow, and now I am locked out. When I try to log into my  it asks me to log in. On the global chat login page, it says, &quot;If automatic login fails, please visit the GlobalAuth test &amp; help page to check for common problems.&quot; I visit that page and it says that everything is fine. It suggests that I log out of my main account, which I do, and that I remove all my stackexchange.com cookies, which I do. I can log into my , and my , but going to a chat site still asks me to log in and fails. I am running Firefox 16.0.1 and MacOS X 10.5.8 and use a Google OpenID. This has all worked before. Note: I can log into my .

Janrain has , one of the many OpenID providers. MyOpenID will not be available starting February 1, 2014. (An   hinted at the same but did not set a date for end of service.)   This decision was made by Janrain, and Stack Exchange did not have any part in it. You can still use myOpenID to log in to Stack Exchange, but be aware that any outages in the myOpenID service will mean that you are unable to log in to Stack Exchange until Janrain fixes it – which may take several days, or weeks, or never. After February 1, you will no longer be able to use myOpenID to log in to Stack Exchange. Stack Exchange will not be able to answer any questions about why myOpenID is down or when it will be working again. If you do not have any other login credentials on your account by February 1, you will be locked out, and Stack Exchange will be unlikely to help you recover your account.  To avoid getting locked out of your Stack Exchange account, we strongly suggest that anyone using myOpenID as their primary (or even backup) login add a new login method to their Stack Exchange account.  We're also going to remove the "myOpenID" button from the sign-up/login page soon, in order to discourage new users from signing up using myOpenID.  Here's how to add a new login to your account. You must be logged into your account when you begin. (This information is also available .)  Open up your user profile page (by clicking on your login name at the top of the screen) and click the "my logins" link above the bio box on the right hand side.   You should see a list of all of your logins.  To add a new login, click "add more logins..." at the bottom of the box. Choose the new login from the list and follow the steps to confirm.    If you choose, you can remove your myOpenID login by clicking the same "my logins" link, then clicking "remove" next to myOpenID.  If you are adding a Stack Exchange OpenID, you will receive a confirmation email. You must click the link in the email to confirm your email address before the Stack Exchange OpenID will show up under "my logins". Please make sure that you are already logged into your account when you click the confirmation link; otherwise, you will create a new account that needs to be merged with your old one.    If you encounter any trouble adding logins, or accidentally create a separate account that you would like merged, please fill out our .

Currently, the app notifies users when they're mentioned in chat. However, when we tap on the notification, we got redirected out of the app to Safari.   Is there a chance we can get some chat capabilities in the app, so that we don't have to login again in Safari to quickly reply to the messages?    App version: 0.1.19 09/19/2014

On login the password is accepted but I'm returned to the login screen. Tried multiple times even after reboot... same behavior.  I left my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad z510) in suspend mode (lid down) last night, but it did not resume this morning, as it usually does. It had shutdown or crashed, and on booting with Ubuntu the login failure mentioned above started.  cat ~/.xsession-errors /usr/sbin/lightdm-session: 1: /usr/sbin/lightdm-session: ls: not found /usr/sbin/lightdm-session: 104: exec: gnome-session: not found   Okay. I've tried a bunch of suggestions from    Changed id to /usr/sbin/id in /etc/profile removed .Xauthority removed /tmp removed,  purged and re-installed lightdm checked .profile for syntax errors (source .profile worked fine, so I guess no syntax errors)   Nothing worked. My guest login is working fine, so another user should also work. I'm now going to create another user and continue working, but a solution to this problem is still warranted... it's likely going to repeat in future.  Installing and reconfiguring gdm also did not work.  sudo apt-get install gdm

I downloaded the July 30th update for Pokemon Go and when I open the app I'm prompted to login, But once I login, it redirects me to this page on Cookies::     If I click "Done" in the top left, it prompts me to login again! I've tried reinstalling the game, restarting my phone, etc. I can't much enable Cookies on the inline Safari browser. It doesn't make sense, and cookies are on in Safari (because I don't use Safari and they're enabled by default).  How can I fix this?

Good day to all!  I've been trying to use Empathy for Facebook chat for quite some time now but whenever I try to enable it, I get the "Applications can no longer access your Facebook online account blah, blah, blah..." and so I tried going to Online Accounts and then grant access.  But whenever I click the button to grant access, it reverts back to "off" after maybe three seconds. What's happening and how can I solve this?  P.S. I already tried using Pidgin but I still get the same error.  Sometimes I get the "authorization failed" error as well.  Also, I can log into my FB account using my web browser.

First: I'm obviously not talking about logging in and then automatically launching Terminal.app.  In , you used to be able to type &gt;console in the username field on the login screen and go directly into a command line terminal session.  I haven't done it in years until the other day. However, now, when I try it, my computer just locks up. I can't cancel, and it never sends me to a terminal session.  Is it even possible to do this anymore? If not, does anybody know when it was removed? It seems odd that typing &gt;console would cause the machine to lock up if it wasn't recognizing it in some way.

Using the Stack Exchange login, why do I have to enter my password again and again to log in? Wasn’t the whole purpose of OpenID to do away with this?  This doesn’t even only happen when visiting a new Stack Exchange site – it also happens for sites where I already have an account but which I don’t visit regularly. Here’s what I mean:    Of course I don’t remember my password (it’s a long random string). And so I have to go to my password manager and manually copy the password from openid.stackexchange.com’s account into the login form. – And incidentally, this is what my password manager looks like now:    (And, by the way, those are the only entries in my keychain so far, but by far not the only SE sites where I have an account.)  … I feel that this defeats the purpose of site-wide login and OpenID. In the olden times when MyOpenID was still working properly, I’d simply enter my OpenID on the login form, and the software would take care of the rest – namely, redirect to the OpenID service, (automatically) verify that I was authorised to use it, and redirect back to the original website, having logged me in. It was literally one button click for me. It’s substantially more work now, and I’d like to understand why this regression is necessary.  (Note: of course once a site’s password has landed in my password manager I (probably?) won’t have to enter it again. But still: wasn’t site-wide login and OpenID supposed to solve this already?)

I want to log out of Stack Overflow or any Stack Exchange site, but always it shows me logged in!  How do I log out of this site?  Note: I have yet to register; the site currently always shows my name and default email. I wish to log out so that I may start a new session!

If I type chat.stackexchange.com into my browser, it resolves as area51.stackexchange.com.   The same happens if I click the chat link from the dropdown on a site, as well.   This just started within the last couple of minutes. I'm using Chrome, if that matters any.

I can't access my global inbox.  When I try to , I get Oops! Something Bad Happened!. I am currently part of one private beta, that may be related.  I have also noticed that sometimes (but not always), the drop-down inbox link at the top shows old items only.  That may or may not be related.

In Mac OS X, if I don't touch it for a while, it will lock the screen and one must use password to unlock it, but this kind of log in is not recorded by last command. I want to know if anybody tried to break into my MacBook when I am not in front of it. Is there any way I can log such attempts?

After upgrading to MacOS Mojave, Messages no longer allows me to sign in to Jabber / Google Talk.  Previously, if the Jabber account was offline, it offered a dropdown to sign back in.  Now, that dropdown appears to be gone.

I've upgraded my desktop from Ubuntu version 16.10 to 17.04.  When I try to login I'm not able to login. See .  I did Ctrl + Alt + F1 and able to log in through terminal.

I can login to Area 51 using my Google account, and everything seems fine at first. Until I try to participate, such as answering a question, voting, or creating a new question. At this point the login bar shows me as not logged in, and I am asked to create an account or login again. But when I do I get the crashed flying saucer error. Login works fine on other StackExchange communities. I tried different browsers, clearing cache, clearing cookies, loging out from Google itself, creating another account - no avail. Has anyone else seen this?

Here are the steps to reproduce this problem:   Be on a device where I am not logged-in to a meta site. Go to the main *.stackexchange.com site - Everything seems to work fine. Go to the meta.*.stackexchange.com site and click log in in the title bar - Page just refreshes without logging in. WTF?   Here is the workaround I have found to work:   Go to main *.stackexchange.com site and click on help=>meta Click through  about the . Log-in works.   I'm not fussy about whether my connection to SE is encrypted.  However, I do care that this problem created a barrier to my participation in meta.*.stackexchange.com.  I cared and knew enough to poke at this thing for five minutes and find a workaround so I could vote on a .  I doubt, however, that this is the case for most users.  It concerns me that participation in meta is being filtered by a technical problem.    I use chrome as my browser, and my google account to authenticate.  The problem exists on both Travel and English se.com on both a Windows 7 and 8.1 machine.     seems similar.  However, the symptoms are different in two ways: In my case no login page is ever presented, and I'm not using OpenID.

I have a registered StackOverflow account which I normally log into using OpenID.  Recently I logged out in order to post a question anonymously (supplying a fake name and of my secondary email addresses).  The problem now is that I'm logged in to StackOverflow as this "dummy" user, unable to see a way to log out.  The top menu normally has a "logout" link, but when you aren't fully registered this link is replaced with "register".  There is no "logout" link for me. :(  So..   When logged out there is a "login" link. When logged in there is a "logout" link. When "logged in" with an unregistered account, there is only a "register" link (no "logout").
