That happens to me too.i can log in arch linux forum but not to wiki.

No problems here.

Can I just check - Do you actually have a separate account for the wiki? It's not SSO.

Yes,I have.Actually I contributed to translation work a few days ago.And I tried to change my password today,which was also worked.

Same problem here.

When I enter incorrect password this is detected, but with correct username & password I'm not logged in.

Using firefox 72.0.4-1 . starting firefox in "safe mode" without addons doesn't make a difference.

Who could look into this and how do we reach them ?

Do you force disable/remove/disallow cookies? Seen something similar on my fathers box and he had accidentally ticked the block all cookies box in chrome.

I have checked it and all the cookies is enabled.I tried to clean up cookies and log in again,but it doesn't work as well.
By the way,my username of arch wiki is the same as my bbs name which has a space.I don't know whether this matters.

I just tried with a brand new test user running from twm + xterms .

started firefox , did configure nothing at all and went straight to wiki login.
Same behaviour : it accepts username & password, but doesn't change to "logged in" screens at all.

A week ago everything worked fine.

After i noticed the issue I requested a password reset, this did work fine.
My username in wiki is Lone_Wolf with an underscore.

No time now to investigate further now, have to go.

I decided to check with a text browser and choose lynx .

started with lynx https://wiki.archlinux.org , allowed all cookies and had same result : username & password are accepted, but screen doesn't change to logged-in version.

At this point it seems there is confirmation of a bug, and raising a bug report would be the best way forward.

Mod note: moving to Forum and Wiki discussion.

Thanks for your debugging.I was working so I couldn't give you reply.
I did a new experiment.I asked my friends to try logging in my account.None of them has used arch wiki before,but they can't log in as well.So I think it is not our problems.
I used the web debug tool of firefox to track data,and I found that when I click the "log in" button,I post the data,which are probably about my username and password.However this post behavior meet "302" code.I don't know much about web,but I guess this might be the problem.I am going to contact administrators of arch wiki for help.

WorMzy · 2020-02-06 11:30:38

Yes, please do.

See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65399. No need for "me too" posts.

Lone_Wolf · 2020-02-24 14:17:04

Bug 65399 has been switched from public to private on 22-02-2020 .
I can't see it anymore or respond to it, bugtracker gives a 101 error, insufficient permission.

I just tried to see the history of an archived link and had to log in for that.
It did get logged in this time, so there appears to have been made progress on the bug.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2020-02-25 18:22:22

This problem seems to be fixed now, I've just been able to login (I couldn't previously).

@OP: please confirm and mark the thread [SOLVED]. Thanks.
