Everyone got logged out after the recent site hack. For me, when I tried logging in once things were back up, it would tell me I logged in, but I’d actually stay logged out.

I assumed the systems were still just down, but when I noticed others were able to log in and post without issue I tried clearing site data - that let me right in.

In Firefox or Chrome you can do so quickly by clicking the lock to the left side of the address bar.

Figuring I might not be the only one and some stuck-logged-out people may see this.

    I had the same problem on Jerboa (android). I had to:

    • Long press the app
    • Click on: force stop
    • Click on: storage
    • Click on: clear data

    After that, I was able to login again properly.

      You’re a genius! I was searching all over the Jerboa instance and even the devs didn’t know what caused the issue.

      Thanks!
