Step-by-Step Fix
1. Hard Refresh
- Windows: Ctrl + F5
- macOS: Cmd + Shift + R
2. Try Incognito / Private Mode
This removes most extension and cookie issues.
3. Disable Extensions
Temporarily disable:
- ad blockers
- anti-tracking tools
- script blockers
4. Clear Cache and Cookies
- Clear site data for Claude/Anthropic
- Restart the browser
5. Switch Browser
Try Chrome, Safari, or Edge to isolate browser-specific issues.
6. Switch Network / DNS
- Try mobile hotspot
- If you control DNS, try a public resolver (e.g., 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8)
7. Check Outages
If there’s an outage, wait and retry later.

Additional FAQ
Q: What is the fastest way to diagnose a login problem? The fastest diagnostic is to open an incognito or private browser window and attempt to sign in there. Incognito windows run without extensions and use fresh cookies, which isolates the two most common causes: a browser extension interfering with authentication, or corrupted session cookies. If login works in incognito, the issue is your main browser profile. If it still fails, the problem is your network, your account, or a platform-side incident.
Q: Why does clearing browser cache fix login issues? Your browser caches session tokens and authentication cookies that prove you are logged in. If these become corrupted or expire mid-session, the browser may present an invalid token on each page load, causing the server to reject the session and redirect you to login. Clearing site-specific data forces the browser to request fresh tokens on the next login, which resolves most session-related loops without affecting your other browser data.
Q: Should I try a different browser if login keeps failing? Yes — testing in a second browser is one of the most useful steps. Different browsers use different cookie stores, extension ecosystems, and caching mechanisms. If login works in Browser B but fails in Browser A, the issue is specific to Browser A's state (likely extensions or corrupted profile data), not your account. You can continue working in Browser B while you troubleshoot the original browser.
