What issue or error are you experiencing?

Previously my local was linked to wpengine, but havent used local for months, came back to new version 10 and had to re-link to wpengine but after going through process of signing in and adding email code, the page would forever load. I tried calling http://localhost:49054/callback where it would try request again but again would forever load until failure.
I tried turning off VPN, restarting computer, clearing cookies, downgrading local to 9, but no luck.
Logs didn’t provide any insight that I could determine.

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @tcon! Would you be able to try using a different browser for logging in and see if that works? You might also have to try connecting to another network if possible. Generally speaking this usually boils down to a network or security conflict. It sounds like you’ve already covered some basics but those options I mentioned might help you work around this.

Thanks, using chrome Version 147.0.7727.138 (Official Build) (arm64)
When Signing launches will copy https://identity.wpengine.com/signin to Safari and login, redirected to wpengine, then after copy and run http://localhost:49054/callback in safari since it picks up the callback params from browser…
OH! That worked!
