arxivist interfering with arxiv user login?

Open mattia-vaccari opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Since I've installed arxivist (on Chrome, on Mac High Sierra) I can't seem to be able to log into my arxic account because of the following error.

This page isn’t working arxiv.org redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Note that user login works fine on Safari at the same time...

Thanks for reporting this! For now, you can temporarily disable the extension while you log in by going to chrome://extensions in your browser. I'll try to figure out what might be causing this.

Try going to chrome://settings/siteData in your browser and searching for "arxiv" in the "search cookies" bar. Then, remove the cookies for arxiv.org and try logging in again. After doing that, I was able to log out then log back in again and it doesn't seem to have conflicted with the plugin either. Let me know if that helps for you!

yep, i also tried that and that fixed it, i just thought you may want to be aware of the issue and perhaps note it in the README... thanks!
