Can't log into World of Tokens

[JohnI]

This has happened before and required me resetting everything. It only ever happens on World of Tokens.

When I try to log in I get;



Once it starts doing this it doesn't stop unless I reset everything and lose all my settings on Edge.

There appears to be a bug somewhere with the login.

Another thing - it randomly has me logged in if I open WoT on another page.

Hi JohnI,

Does this happen to you only with Edge? I'd give it a try with Chrome or Firefox, so that we can figure out if this has to do with the user, the browser, the wiki, etc.

What do you mean by resetting "everything"? Is it that it gets fixed temporarily when you reset your password?

I'd also try adding worldofcoins.eu as a trusted website, given that we do not have an https certificate.

I have a requirement to double login with different browsers and different devices.

The page I am on says I am not logged in and doesn't allow me to edit pages. I can open another browser page and I am logged in without having done anything else (i.e. on both devices/browsers the page is falsely declaring that I am not logged in and blocking me from editting ). This points to a website software issue.

I have never reset my password. I reset the browser cache etc.

I changed the website security on the browser - no difference.

The link below is from an administrator who had the same problem with a private wiki site 6 years ago;

The concluding remarks are;

Check if you have set $wgMainCacheType in LocalSettings.php. In case it's set to CACHE_ACCEL, you should set $wgSessionCacheType to CACHE_DB.

Hey, I managed to fix the issue by adding $wgCookiePath = "/"; and $wgCookieSecure = false; to LocalSettings.php.



From what I understand LocalSettings.php is set by the Administrator:-  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php

I know a good researcher when I read stuff from one. See also Izotz's questions upthread.

Thanks for the tip.

Check if you have set $wgMainCacheType in LocalSettings.php. In case it's set to CACHE_ACCEL, you should set $wgSessionCacheType to CACHE_DB.

This is what I did yesterday when I told you in my Email that I tried to modify something on WoT that may or may not help.

Hey, I managed to fix the issue by adding $wgCookiePath = "/"; and $wgCookieSecure = false; to LocalSettings.php.

I just added this as well. Did it help?

Did you follow my recommendation to add WoT as a trusted site?

[JohnI]

Yesterday I didn't find a specific trusted sites setting on Edge but found a section with all the protections listed. I removed the protections from the site, which is probably the same thing as making it a trusted site. This made no difference.

Last night it appeared that the changes had only removed the warning sign (i.e. it was still showing the not logged in page every time I tried to login or editted a page). I reset the browser cache etc and it was back to double logging in (i.e the problem inidcator was still there). This morning the double logging in seems to have disappeared, which would suggest the problem is now fixed.

The double logging in is still be required on my iPhone. This may be because I have not reset the browser cache etc. on that. However I was only logging in on my iPhone to check if it was a device/browser specific issue, so this is not a concern.

Thanks;



John
