IE and force_login=true not redirecting after login

PhotoBoothConXd · 2014-08-06T17:04:23.000Z

Up until yesterday I was loading this URL after getting a valid oauth token in an embedded IE browser in my desktop app
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?force_login=true&oauth_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When the user logs in, IE no longer redirects to the callback page with my access token.
If I use the same URL in Chrome, the redirect occurs, but I am only able to embed IE in the application.
If I remove force_login=true, the redirect happens, but I need to force login for the next user.
Until yesterday this worked for 2 years.

Thanks for the report, we are investigating now.

We believe we found the issue - please let us know if this is working for you now.

PhotoBoothConXd · 2014-08-07T05:25:21.000Z

Yes it’s fixed. Thanks

PhotoBoothConXd · 2014-08-18T04:14:06.000Z

It’s happening again.

Can you confirm that this is related to force_login=true, or whether this is the “session” issue we are seeing here https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/32930 - thanks

Looks like something different this time. Here’s a video, maybe this will help: https://cloudup.com/cTpE9MmflNw

thanks - we are investigating.

Any updates? This has shut down a lot of users events who rely on our software.

@andypiper, any updates on this? We are unable to use twitter without this being fixed.

andypiper · 2014-08-20T15:51:47.000Z

Still working on a solution - thanks for your patience and apologies.

PhotoBoothConXd · 2014-08-22T00:34:30.000Z

Seems to have started working correctly again.

PhotoBoothConXd · 2014-09-17T16:26:04.583Z

The issue has returned. Here’s a video showing logging in using IE first and then Chrome 2nd. Notice the the extra step required in IE.

@andypiper, This has been happening for a week with no updates. There are many customers complaining about not being able to log in to Twitter from our application.

andypiper · 2014-09-22T16:24:53.596Z

Apologies, we are investigating.

TagPrints · 2014-09-23T15:20:28.090Z

Any updates on this @andypiper?

andypiper · 2014-09-23T15:26:20.959Z

With the extra step, users should still be able to login in - correct? There’s just an additional stage involved?

PhotoBoothConXd · 2014-09-23T15:27:55.394Z

Correct, but that’s not how it used to work. After login the application was always able to grab the token immediately.

I’m also experiencing a new issue that I believe is related to the force_login=true oauth troubles.

Scenario: I’m logged into Twitter.com in one tab, then I try and authenticate with my app in another tab.

Problem: After the authorize screen pops up, it automatically logs me out of Twitter.com in the other tab. This wasn’t happening previously. This is before I even enter my password in the Twitter authorize screen.

Its happening in chrome, firefox, and IE.

Hi @andypiper. Any update on this subject? Thanks.
