FAB Plugin window blank / locked out

Summary

About 80% of the time the FAB window in Unreal does not work or load. The “Discover” page is blank, my “Library” is blank and does not load, and regularly pushes me back to a security captcha which cannot be completed. Even restarting the editor does not fix this issue and I typically have to restart my entire PC before FAB will load again.

Steps to Reproduce

It happens randomly, about 80% of the time I attempt to open the FAB Window. No special steps are required for me to reproduce on my end.

Expected Result

FAB should open, show assets in the discover tab and my library, and not lock me out behind a security challenge that fails to work.

Observed Result

FAB is unusable, completely broken, and legitimately hinders my work flow as I cannot access the assets purchased or view new ones.

Any answer would be FANTASTIC as the entire plugin literally does not work.

Make sure you don’t have any VPN on and no antivirus/firewall/3rd party software that might block the plugin.
