The freecodecamp.org login screen loads and the input for the email address flashes a cursor for a second which then disappears, so can’t type in the address. I’ve restarted the browser several times.
Using Firefox, updated today.
Had no issues a couple of days ago.
have you added any browser extensions? try removing browser extensions
No, no extensions added. Disabled the ones I’ve had for a long time…no change.
Thanks for the responses. I believe it’s a Windows 7 problem. I tried it on another w7 machine and it didn’t work. I tried Opera on my machine and it doesn’t work. I tried it on a w10 laptop and it works.
I found today that the log in via other sites buttons work–they didn’t yesterday, but the log in with email still doesn’t. I’d have to create another account to use those methods, and thereby lose all of my progress and the ability to look back at what I’ve done.
no, you don’t, you can log in with an account that uses the same email you usually log in with and it will be the same account
Thank you for the response. I don’t log in with a google account. I created the account with a different email provider.
what about github? that is an other option
Thanks for the response. I don’t have a github or apple account either. If I create one of those or a google account, how would I be able to access my progress from my current account? I am able to log into the forums just fine. But the email submit button on the freecodecamp.org site doesn’t work.
if you create a github account using the same email address you will be able to log into your freecodecamp account that already exists
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll give it a try.
Update: It turns out the issue is that the placeholder text in the input form doesn’t clear when I attempt to type in the email field. However, the input does go in there—I just can’t see it. Same for the security code. Thanks ILM and Teller for trying to help.
I thought I’d found a work around, but it didn’t work today and now I’m “blocked after multiple consecutive login attempts”. I’ve sent a request for unblocking to the support email. I do appreciate all of the work the volunteers of this project do. I do have a question. Do accounts get unblocked, and if so how long does it take?
Thanks again.
I don’t know, I have never had that happen. Wait for support to answer and you will find out I guess
The problem seems to have been resolved. Thanks again.
