Login issue

Check that the date and time are set properly. If the date is wrong, SSL will not work.

OK. One last trick ...

I use Firefox for most of my online work, but Firefox is no longer "well supported" these days and can sometimes take an update or two beyond being "up to date" to work with some websites. PC and smartphone FF are not quite the same so one may work and the other not even though both are "up to date". If you use Firefox, Chrome might help until then. It works for virtually everything (but it's a resource hog).

I have never heard that mentioned about Firefox. Where did you hear that? Could you link me to a resource?

I thought the same thing at first too lapushka, maybe only a single login is allowed at once. But I can login from Chrome and Firefox simultaneously so that's not it.

It's very strange.

So frustrating! I hope you can figure it out. Is your computer running some kind of firewall? Have you tried doing a web search for the exact text of the error you're getting (you mentioned it was something about a missing security token)?

I'm running Windows Defender on my PC. I checked it out but couldn't see anything I could've done there. I have indeed googled the issue but didn't find any suggestion that helped, and some of the stuff I didn't quite understand either.

The system time is correct, but it's not synced with the forum (while I'm logged out). I'm not sure if it's supposed to be, or if it just relies on the timezone you've set for your profile, which then shows the time accordingly while you're logged in.

I'm using a desktop, does it even have a coin-cell battery?

Nope, same thing on Firefox.

Ääääääöööögghhgfjhhaaaa

Is the system date correct?

Desktops have a coin-cell battery which powers the clock/calendar when the computer is turned off.

I think the language of frustration is pretty much universal

Thank you!

Yep, it is.

Hmmmmm...

Yep, it is.

Okay, then I am out of ideas.

When you cleared cache and cookies did you do it selectively for LHC or did you clear everything? If done selectively, is it possible you missed something?

Thanks for trying.

Man, I have no idea who or what could possibly help me here!

I cleared everything! Twice, actually!

For fun, I tried entering the wrong password, but the result is the same. It just reloads, doesn't say anything.
