Is there a trick to logging into the ecobee developers portal? - ecobee-api

I tried to register on the ecobee developers sign-in page, and nothing happens. The page just refreshes into the "Log in to become an ecobee developer" page again and doesn't move forward.
I've tried different browsers, and incognito mode, clearing my cache and a different machine, same issue.
I emailed the ecobee support team and they just sent me here, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Go into your app and disable 2 factor authentication. I did this and I am good to go!!

Verification by Card always shows Session Expired on Azure

Whenever i try to register for Azure Free Trial, i feed all information and as soon as i land on Verification by Card page, it loads and then instantly shows me Session expired. I tried using different ID, different network and also different city to perform the action. Azure support does not work and googling doesnt help much either.
Is anyone else experiencing same or i am only one with such a problem.
I have also attached the screenshot of the issue.

I would assume only two thing could cause this.
1. The Browser.
Can you do a clean fresh install of your preferred browser? Maybe there is a cookie issue. Microsoft has a notorious browser past. Are you using IE? If not true installing IE.
2. The Site's Code
Nothing can be done there. Just call Microsoft Support.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Tim
I doubt there's a global access issue with Azure, but you can double-check the status here.
It looks like a trouble with your current device configuration.
Check that your clock is correct. Your browser may remove cookies or
reject certificates because of wrong clock.
Check your browser-specific settings for limitations and security measures like disabled Javascript or enchanced security. It's also worth checking the addons and extensions for the same reason.
If you're on Windows, check Internet Settings or try to add the site to Trusted Sites list. A few months ago I had to add Microsoft sites to the Trusted Sites list on Windows Server box to solve a similar issue.
The simplest solution would be to try another device.
I had the same problem. Trying different approaches to solve the issue ultimately had the same outcome...I couldn't create an Azure subscription when logging in using my O365 credentials.
Working with Microsoft Support the approach that successfully worked for me was to open an InPrivate Browser session. Navigate to https://account.azure.com/, which causes a credential challenge, which you should use the O365 credentials. Ultimately a successful outcome.
BTW> I could only engage MS Support by submitting a Support request. MSFT were responsive in that I was contacted within 60min, with a suggested resolution.

Legal Issue: Remove/Hide links on Google Login page

For the background:
I'm developing a device application which offers connection to Google Drive. My end-users will need to login to their Google Account and authorize my application to access their Google Drive.
I'm using OAuth 2.0 to do this. But my concern is that I don't want users to navigate away from my application using the links on the Google Login page. Basically, I don't want them to use my application to browse the internet.
Question:
Will I violate any terms of service/usage if I hide or change the href the links using GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey? The changes will only be on the client side and I won't alter any processing at all.
I already checked https://developers.google.com/terms/ but I found no item related to modifying the pages on client side.
Thanks in advance.
What kind of device? If you’re on Android, check out the Google Drive API and GoogleAuthUtil, you probably don’t need to code your own OAuth 2 support. On iOS we’ve been shipping a bunch of library-ware to help you similarly.
But if you’re doing OAuth 2 via a browser, it would be highly inappropriate to screw around with the Google Login page. Also I suspect that the page will try to resist such attempts, but I don’t know the details.

Content Advisor - Loses Sessions

Has anybody exprecienced this before, and can anybody help me solve this.

My Devise sessions do work in Internet Explorer (7,8)

I use Devise in my Rails 3.1 application to manage sessions. In Safari and Firefox, the user is correctly prompted to login if he attempts to access a page that requires authorization. However, in Internet Explorer (versions 7 and 8), the user is correctly redirected to the login page, but logging in does nothing.
In other words, the username and password are correct, but it appears as if Internet Explorer can not set the session. Cookies are enabled for IE as well.
Has anyone experienced any similar session issues with IE? I just need to know where to look. I have already fought through IE's inability to handle pushState, it seems like IE is pretty difficult to code for.
Internet Explorer 9 seems to work fine.
Crossbrowser pushState with hashbang fallback: History.js.
AJAX requests without the XRSF token destroy the devise session, maybe IE is messing this one up with your code.

Windows Authentication doesn't prompt for login

I've had Windows Authentication setup on an area of our website for some time now, and it has worked flawlessly so far.
Recently, the login prompt stopped appearing and went straight to "Page cannot be displayed" for some reason.
While connected to our network, the page works fine.
Outside our network, users are supposed to receive a login prompt but they now do not, instead receiving the "page cannot be displayed" error.
Why would this suddenly occur, and how is it fixed? I have tried removing the virtual directory and re-adding it but nothing seems to work.
The strange thing is this is only happening in IE - Google Chrome works fine (I receive the login prompt).
Is there a setting or something inside of IIS that disables this login prompt or something? It is strange it is an IE specific issue as well - there were no changes to the state of IE from one day when it was working to the next where it wasn't.
Anyone have ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks
Oddly enough, I'd wonder why you were getting the login prompt before now.
If you're logged in to Windows and the site you're browsing to uses Windows Auth, IE will automatically try to pass the logged in user's credentials to the site (this all depends on your domain configuration/trust setup...something may have changed with those settings at the domain level that changed the behavior of your IE).
Chrome/Firefox/Safari don't have this functionality, which is why you're still getting a login prompt.
There is a checkbox in internet options->advanced tab to enable/disable Windows Authentication, but you said that there were no changes. Either way it is something to check.
It sounds like you are hitting a security setting in IE.
IE stops windows authentication information from being sent to sites that you do not trust.
You could try adding the site to your list of trusted sites.
You can start by taking a network trace both Internally and Externally, reproduce the issue and see if the request actually reaches the web server. Also, check the IIS logfile for the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" response.
Let me know if that helps or if you have more questions.
Regards,
Vivek.
You need to take a network capture (www.fiddlercap.com) to get any real help with this.
IE supports the "Negotiate" protocol in addition to NTLM; Chrome and other browsers typically only support NTLM.
