Bug overview description.
When I try logging into my account on e621.net on mobile, I am unable to do so despite entering the correct username and password. So I went onto my computer and tried it there with the same VPN. There, I was able to sign in successfully. The only major difference I noticed was the presence of a captcha right after the password prompt. This captcha doesn't appear on the mobile website.
Next, I requested the desktop version on the mobile browser. Once the webpage layout matched the desktop version, I still couldn't find a Captcha. I even offloaded my Firefox Focus app because I was afraid that it was interfering with the website and blocking the captcha from loading, but that didn't help the issue either.
I've previously used this VPN for almost all my wifi-based browsing and this applies to when I use e621 as well. I'm trying to find a solution to this that doesn't involve having to access e621 without my VPN.
What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
The sign in page is the affected page.
What is the expected behavior?
I would typically enter my username and password, and (if I didn't mistype any characters) it would send me to the posts page and I would be completely logged in.
What actual behavior is given instead?
Now, entering my username and password correctly only returns an "Incorrect username or password" message, and I remain on the sign in page.
Time of incident (if applicable).
If I had to pin a range, I'd say it started about four days ago. I don't remember the exact day this started happening.
Can you reproduce the bug every time?
Yes. This consistently happens on mobile.
What steps did you take to replicate this bug?
1. Have VPN turned on in my phone.
2. Connect to e621.net on mobile in the Safari app.
3. Attempt to sign in with the correct username and password.
4. The site doesn't accept my login.
Errors or other messages returned (if any).
"Username/Password was incorrect."
This is my first time using the e621 forum, so I'm sorry if any of my formatting is incorrect.
