Impossible to logon with chrome [Fixed]

[ffries]

Something strange happened. I can no longer logon with chrome to luci.
I can still logon with Firefox:

Chrome is:
Version 83.0.4103.116 (Developer Build) built on Debian bullseye/sid, running on Debian bullseye/sid (64-bit)

Kind regards,

Can you better describe what you mean by "cannot login"?

Are you unable to connect to luCi? Are you receiving an error? Is it redirecting you to another website?

[ffries]

luCi web page is accessible and displayed. Then I enter username and password and click login button : nothing happens. The same luCi page is displayed with password field blank as if nothing happened.

You have to allow cookies to login.

Thank you for your replies. Cookies are enabled.

Did this happen out of the blue or have you changed something on your OpenWrt system?

[ffries]

I don't know precisely as I am reconfiguring my two APs. My second AP is running OpenWRT with all updates and using chromium works. So there must be someting on my first AP that prevents chromium from working. Thanks for the remark.

[ghoffman]

this happens to me all the time after i change https settings in luci, or change user/password, even if I clear cookies and refresh pages in chrome. something about an old login is cached or remembered until i get out of chrome, wait a while, and get back it.
if I use an incognito tab for the new access to openwrt, then all is well. give that a try.

[anon50098793]

'chromium' .... yeah... incognito... definitely with legacy versions... ( or firefox )... one of them will work...

[ffries]

Incognito mode works in chrome. Incredible.
I tried to remove all files from cache, same issue.

[ffries]

Removing cookies did the trick. Thanks.
