Can't login to account from Local app

Issue Summary

Keep getting the same authentication error when trying to login to my account from the Local app.

“An error occured during authentication.”

This happens with all browsers that I’ve tried. I have also tried doing it in Incognito, disabling my antivirus and enabling 2FA. But no change unfortunately. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Hi @roryleeton

Can you try doing this using a different network, browser, VPN, or with LTE data instead of WiFi? Usually this type of thing is a problem with a network connection or specific browser.

Am actually using a USB tethered phone to access my router’s wifi so that could be it. Will try an ethernet connection

Awesome @roryleeton -

Let us know how that works! We just had some scheduled maintenance to the Local Hub so in case you ran into any issues that could have been the reason, but everything seems to be coming back online now.

Thanks!

Sam
