These issues predominantly occur in browsers with strict cookie policies configured. I am currently working on addressing these issues for these browsers. My development browser is also affected by this issue, so I have a way to reproduce it. # When can you expect this issue to be resolved? I expect this to happen until August 20th, five days before the launch of the new MusicPlayer, whose launch I had to postpone as a result of that. # What happened that this is even an issue? That is something I am still investigating to a point. It appears to be a configuration issue for the cookie that the login services use. I am pretty sure I have a quick solution to this issue, which I will try to push asap. I am taking this opportunity to completely rewrite the UI of the login services as a true web-app, but I will still retain the current login screen as an option, so SSO (Single-Sign-On) functionality uses less resources. This login screen will be used whenever the login sdk is used. All APIs will remain the same. I will also use a database to store login sessions as part of the update, which will allow you to stay logged in for significantly longer periods of time. Login might be slightly slower as a result of that, but I think it is worth the trade of. # What steps am I taking that similar issues won't occur again in the future? As part of this investigative work into the issues I am experiencing, I am trying to figure out what part of the software stack is causing these issues to occur. I will use that knowledge to avoid future mistakes of similar kind. I will also further increase the amount of testing I do on this kind of software before pushing it to prod.
