Since the last major update I can't login to hexbear anymore. When I do, it says "logged in successfully", and then straight away another notification pops up and says "Error: incorrect_login".

I know the username (same as my lemmygrad) and password are correct because I have them saved in my password manager.

Please help, I have to post prolewiki stuff or... something.

Thanks.

Other people said it first, so I'll say it with emoji:

Thanks everyone. I should have tried deleting the cookies first but,,, too lazy. It works now.

Gotta kill your cookies for the site. Should probably see an icon on the left side of the URL bar that should have some site settings options.

Thank you! I was having the same issue.

Welcome! Glad it was helpful!

I had to delete my cookies for it to work properly. I took a while to figure out how to do it, but it isn't that complicated.

Unfortunately, I deleted my wordle cookies as well :( - you probably only need to delete hexbear/lemmy cookies.

A while back, the hexbear wouldn't let me log out.

Consider yourself lucky
