it looks like there is a problem with the lines github integration. i had to relogin on one of my devices and it seems i canā€™t use github login anymore, i get this message: Sorry, there was an error authorizing your account. Perhaps you did not approve authorization?

when this happened the first time i checked my github settings and lines was still listed as an authorized app. the url when i get the error message above is https://llllllll.co/auth/failure?message=redirect_uri_mismatch&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fllllllll.co%2F&strategy=github which seems to suggest the authorized urls are not properly specified - i wonder if maybe the https url is not included? i also tried removing authorization from github, and i still get the same error above.

could one of the admins look into this? thanks!

There was a github outage this morning ā€“ I wonder if that could have been the problem.

probably not related - i noticed it last saturday first and been trying it every dayā€¦

Iā€™m guessing the https in the redirect url is probably the correct assessment. Iā€™ve built some oauth2 login stuff before, and usually the easiest way to implement redirect uri checking is by a literal string match. Iā€™m not 100% sure if this is how github does it, but itā€™s a reasonable guess.

ā€œsince saturdayā€ also corresponds with the timing of this:

paging the @admins :slight_smile:

yeah, i suspected it might be related and remember having the same issue with some of the oauth2 stuff i had to set up at work :slight_smile:

didnā€™t know we had a group for admins - thatā€™s handy!

#6

iā€™m probably the only person using github integration, but in case anybody else runs into this - i just used a password reset to change my account to a regular login.

#7

trying to figure this out, re: https://meta.discourse.org/t/twitter-github-and-normal-username-and-password-logins-not-working-after-upgrade/51854/9

can you go into your github oauth settings and change the domain to https:// ?

#8

where do i change github oauth settings?

lines was listed as an authorized app in my github settings but i donā€™t think there were any parameters to edit. when i tried to debug this i removed the authorization from github thinking maybe it would re-add it, but i donā€™t get asked again when i try github login, it just throws the error.

#9

This is usually something that the owner of the oauth app within github has to do (adding the ā€œhttpsā€ variant as an allowed redirect uri)

I think the process for this is to go here: https://github.com/settings/developers

Then click on the Discourse integration app, and update the Authorization callback URL to include https.

#10

hereā€™s the precise message that shows the github setup: https://meta.discourse.org/t/twitter-github-and-normal-username-and-password-logins-not-working-after-upgrade/51854/15?u=tehn

but this might be a deeper dig

#11

thatā€™s set by the oauth github app owner though, as @rknLA mentions above. i donā€™t think itā€™s set by the user.

#12

youā€™re correct, apologies.

iā€™m actually not certain where you can even go in the user setup to re-enable github oauth, or change auth methodsā€¦ still digging on the discourse forums nowā€¦

#13

For some reason I canā€™t login to my lines account on my computer (using my iPhone to write this) It always auto-logged me in before, but somehow that stopped working.

In the login page, if I click ā€˜with Githubā€™, an error message pops up saying ā€œSorry, there was an error authorizing your account. Perhaps you did not approve authorization?ā€ If I click ā€˜with Googleā€™ a different error pops up, but I used Github when I originally made the account.

Edit: Btw Iā€™m using Google Chrome. Already tried clearing browser cache/cookies, but I still end up with the same error.

#14

Iā€™m having the same problem here. I tried the Google login as well, and received an incorrect URL error.

I made a new account to log in and post this.

Initially I was asked to log in to Github, which I did, and then received the error. Iā€™ve tried clearing cached data, another browser, and incognito mode, and Iā€™m receiving the same errors everywhere.

Screen grabs below.

Actually, because Iā€™m a new user, only one screen grab.

Iā€™ll try to repost the other.

Hereā€™s the github error:

#16

Oh, and just to note all steps taken, I revoked Github authorization for lines and I am still receiving the same error.

#17

Didnā€™t see the original post and thread (maybe because I got there via search?), so all I saw was elquintoā€™s last message.

Anyways, reading through gave me the idea to try resetting my password w/ the email I use on Github, and that seems to have worked.

Or maybe I just made an account with that email at one point and forgot about it. Bad account hygiene here.

Anyways, maybe thatā€™s a tip for someone in the future with the problem, but Github/Google OAuth integration definitely seems broken.

#18

thanks for the tip. i know something has gone wrong with the github auth over the months.

#19

Hey guys! Was just trying to log in via my normal @flyingoctopus account, which was using github oauth and now am getting an error, and when trying to reset my password, I receive no email to fix it. Is there anything else I can do to unlink what Iā€™m seeing as github oauth from my account and setting up a standard password login? Thanks and cheers!

#20

itā€™s time to reinvestigate this issue. check back in a few days.
