Spurious login window

DoaM

Is anyone else getting this today? Whenever I open up a page I am seeing this:


I hit cancel and can proceed as normal, but as soon as the page refreshes (or changes) it pops up again.

I've tried my usual forum login details but to no avail.

For info ... I tried the following but nothing made any difference:

signing out and back in
Turning off uBlock Origin
Clearing cache/cookies etc.
Using another browser (Edge Chromium ... default is Chrome)

I then tried Internet Explorer (IE11) and I do not get the issue in that browser.

Please note that the other browsers were fine yesterday/last night ... this issue has only started today.

Problem seems to have disappeared now. The only additional thing I did was to disconnect from my company's VPN and come back to MSE forum and all was OK. I then reconnected to VPN and all is still OK.

I add-blocked it, its 5 images doing it.
Not using a proxy or VPN

I didn't change anything in uBlock (my ad blocker) ... the issue simply went away. I expect the VPN was merely coincidental.

But thanks for replying ... at least I know I was not alone.

I just unblocked it and it came back.

Hi everyone,

Apologies for this. The login window is due to one of our services not working as it should do and our team are working on fixing this.

For now, cancel the window. The login prompt is coming from our service and is not malicious, does not share any information with MSE or anyone else and does not connect to the Forum database in anyway. The team are working on fixing this as soon as they can.

Very sorry this has happened and thanks for flagging.

Ben
