What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

UI / Tools

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Fresh Windows 11 install. Install Unreal Engine 5.8.3 from the Epic Games Launcher with MetaHuman Creator Core Data, and sign in to the Launcher.
  2. Launch the editor from the Launcher (not as admin) and open a project with the MetaHuman Creator plugin enabled.
  3. Create a MetaHuman Character from a default preset (no custom mesh).
  4. Click “Create Full Rig” (same result with “Create Joints Only Rig”).
  5. The Epic sign-in overlay window opens.
  6. Try to click any field or button in the overlay.

Expected Result

The sign-in overlay accepts mouse and keyboard input, I can sign in with my Epic account, and the auto-rig runs so the character becomes rigged. Fab login in the editor should also sign in successfully.

Observed Result

The sign-in overlay appears but does not respond to any clicks or typing, so I cannot sign in. The MetaHuman account menu shows “No user signed in, please autorig to trigger log-in flow” and the Rig State stays Unrigged.

Output Log:
LogEOSAuth: No existing persistent auth credentials were found for automatic login
LogMetaHumanAuth: Login failed - error code: EOS_InvalidAuth

Fab login inside the editor fails with the same EOS_InvalidAuth error.
