UnrealEngine.com "logging out..."

Having the same issue using Firefox, I wonder if it has something to do with third party cookies being blocked?

Still happening, around twice a day. Please fix this problem. It’s driving me crazy…

A similar thing is happening for me using Firefox.
I log in to Answerhub, try and post an answer or question and find it has logged me out.
I have seen it redirect me (when it goes wrong) to a link which says something like: “CSRF Attack Detected” at the end.

In fact I just managed to post a question to Answerhub after logging in 5 or 6 times. I had to copy paste what I had already written each time (I ended up writing the question in a text editor and copying and pasting it in in one go). Trying to upload images would also seem to make it fail. On the 5th or 6th go I managed to add the post, and then once it was up I had to edit it, adding one image at a time. This also occurred as i tried to answer other user’s questions. (I was soon logged out again). I would start typing an answer and then click “post response” and nothing would happen because it had logged me out.

Same problem as Sabre. Logs me out when trying to ask a question (why widget components appear blank white in editor but not in game) and redirects me to “csrf attack detected”.

I am still logged out every time on forum, answers, etc. Fortunately, “Logging out…” mad skillz window doesn’t waste my time anymore, but coming here logged out every time is quite strange.

It is still happening, almost every working day I have to re-login. It’s been like that for more than a year so I got used to it,
but now it asks for CAPTCHA and it’s driving me crazy…

EDIT:
I forgot to mention:

  1. I’m using Vivaldi.
  2. It happens on forums and other Unreal Engine sites too, like learn.unrealengine.com which every day denies me access to free animation course.
  1. Forum, Marketplace and docs still randomly log me out for no reason

By the way, I’m using Vivaldi too

This is really annoying, even more when you need to switch between UDN work account and personal account. That opens whole new bucket of login annoyances. Would be nice if Epic did some reconcile on their web platforms when UE5 is released.

One more annoying thing is that if I open UDN with incorrect account, it will show error but does not offer log out or changing the account. I need to go to forum, sign out there and then go to the UDN when it finally shows login form.

I started using unreal just a month ago and I found this frustrating, it’s nice to see it’s a problem at least six years old!

  • login is failing when I click “back” in browser
  • login is failing when I go to dinner, return and click any link on page
  • login is failing when I come from google
  • login is failing when I come from epic games launcher

This is one of many types of errors. Usually it’s just redirects to “logging in…” and back, or signs you out without a reason.

Using “back” on this website is unreliable.

I’ve just started using this and it happens all of the time. Sometimes I’ll open a page and it’ll work fine and be logged in, then I’ll click a link, get redirected to a logout URL and have to log in again. It’s extremely frustrating and looks like it hasn’t been addressed in years.

Me trying to access the unreal website - endless redirects:

https://www.unrealengine.com/id/logout?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unrealengine.com%2F

Me trying to access the metahuman creator - endless redirects:

https://www.unrealengine.com/id/logout?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unrealengine.com%2Fen-US%2Fmetahuman-creator

This happens more often than not.
Why does it try to log me out?

Hello, i have also this problem when i try to go to the learning space :confused:

https://www.unrealengine.com/id/logout?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unrealengine.com%2Flearn%3Flang%3Den_US%26state%3D%2F5.0%2Fen-US%2F

How do I fix this?

I was logged in into the unreal account, visited unreal learning, worked fine, tried to access my account info from that website, got logged out, prompted to log in. Did this, now unreal learning works, this forum looks like it working also. But I can’t access the unreal marketplace anymore. The browser keeps refreshing this page every couple of seconds with a black background.

what to do?

So I now have to use my tablet to access the unreal engine website as the website remains inaccessible on my desktop machine.

Truly an epic fail
