So anything relevant you can share, we'd really appreciate.
This is a super rare problem unfortunately and one that we haven't been able to reproduce, and for us to figure out what's happening we need to try to determine what's common among everyone experiencing the problem. Would anyone commenting here please share more about your environment, specifically your version of Desktop, your OS and version, and the browser it's using. Proposed solution - Revert Github to allow users to login directly from Github desktop and enter credentials there.
#GITHUB DESKTOP LOGIN WINDOWS 7#
Running Windows 7 64bit, Github desktop Version 2.7.2 I am NOT using a VM, I am remote accessing the machine. In order to switch accounts now I need to go to Github in the browser, sign out there, then go and try to sign in from github desktop, this extra step is annoying. I then discovered I was logged into the wrong account, I went back to github desktop and signed out, clicked sign in again, it took me back to a browser page "redirecting me to the application" and never gave me an option to enter my credentials. (Maybe Firefox was working I just didn't wait long enough?)
After the initial 10 minute wait clicking sign in again immediately opens the Chrome browser. I changed the default browser to Chrome, clicking "sign in with browser" did nothing at first, 10 minutes later Chrome did open and I was able to login in the browser. When Firefox is the default browser a pop up opens asking to run Firefox as admin, I click "OK" then Firefox never opens. I am having a similar issue, when I click "sign in with browser" my browser never opens. This should open GitHub Desktop and advance you in the flow.Type the command in the Registry Editor into the Command Prompt, replacing the %1 with the URL from earlier.Expand the registry entry, the open entry, and the command entry.Open Registry Editor and look for "x-github-desktop-auth".Right click on the "click here" link and save that URL for later.If your browser does not redirect you back, please click here to continue." After signing in, you should be on a page that says "You are being redirected to the authorized application.Make sure you're signed out of GitHub in your default browser.No changes to registry are needed, but still. It ends up using Registry Editor, so BE CAREFUL. I wasn't able to get around this through any browsers or re-installations, but I was able to find a workaround. When I tried to sign in the next time, I began getting the issue noted above.To get it to allow me to try to open the Windows version, I then went into the Parallels settings and turned off app sharing both to and from the VM.I didn't notice this and clicked open, not sure if that's required for the repro.After authenticating, the browser prompted me to open GitHub Desktop (Mac).Attempt to authenticate through the browser.
#GITHUB DESKTOP LOGIN INSTALL#
Install GitHub Desktop for Windows in the VM.I think the default Share Apps settings are important for the repro, though I'm not certain.
#GITHUB DESKTOP LOGIN WINDOWS 10#
Install Parallels and start a Windows 10 VM in it.Have GitHub Desktop installed for the Mac.For me, here were the reproduction steps: Reproduction I was also running into this issue when running in a VM on Parallels.
