Sign-in strangeness with concretecms.org

I just wanted to flag that some of the sign in process for concretecms.org and related subdomains seem a bit weird/broken at times.

if I go to https://www.concretecms.org and hit the profile icon on the menu it prompts me to login. After that, the icon doesn’t change, so if I hit it again I get a page showing that I’m logged in, but no redirects or other options. I have to refresh the main site a few times before the sign in icon changes to my profile icon.
If I select sign-out, it doens’t seem to work. The menu still shows I’m logged in. I have to try it a few times, maybe do a hard refresh to actually sign out.

And when I’m doing things like going to the marketplace pages to update add-ons, I find I have to log in multiple times to be able to get to pages I’m after. Sometimes it seems like sign ins carry between sub-domains, and sometimes not, and clicking back to the profile button triggers a login page that I wouldn’t expect.

I get this too, especially if I log into my marketplace account on my phone, I usually have to enter my details and log in at least 3-4 times.

Yes same here. It’s pretty annoying.

Same for me. Multiple logins for each sub site and sticky logins are random.

+1 Here too. Can be very frustrating sometimes!

Yeah there are some planned improvements for this. I think part of this might be:

You have a session on community.concretecms.com
You login elsewhere (say marketplace)
As long as you’re active on marketplace your session stays active there, but your community.concretecms.com session might expire in the meantime.
Therefore, if you were to go to, say training.concretecms.com or documentation.concretecms.org you’d need to login at community again to get that session rolling, to establish a new session on training or documentation.

So it can get a little confusing at times.

That said there isn’t really a reason to login at concretecms.org or concretecms.com at this point fwiw. Documentation, training, marketplace, community, and forums are the main places for folks to log into.
