So.. I was reading the forums and wanted to reply to a post, which naturally makes me have to log in. For obvious reasons I have e-mail authentication enabled.

The following takes place:
I tap ‘log in’ and enter my user information. This generates an authentication e-mail. I open the e-mail, verify the login attempt. So far so good.
I now get transferred back to the forums where it says “Success” and “The login attempt has been allowed”. Looking good!
BUT
I am still logged out! If I attempt to go back to the Forums, or tap ‘log in’ again it will yet again make me enter my information, send me a new e-mail and keep going in a very frustrating circle.

The only way to ‘work around’ the issue is to check the “Remember network” option during the authentication process. Doing so will let me log in normally the next time but this is for so many reasons bad. Why? Well, not only am I on a mobile network, I’m roaming on a foreign network since I’m travelling. Forcing me to allow all future login attempts from this location is ridiculous. And before someone feels a need to point it out; I am aware that I can remove networks from my list of allowed locations afterwards, I just shouldn’t have to! There’s an ‘allow once’ option for a reason.

Picture shows what a so called allowed login attempt looks like..

The Fake-log in issue is the same for me, BUT I’m using “normal net” (not mobile one) with a not-common browser (Palemoon, a Firefox-child) and I can log in only after switching back to Firefox (or remembering the network). Interesting “bug”.
I understand that they can’t test and support every browser, it’s not a big problem for me, but it’s a weird bug.
Maybe you can test it with another mobile-browser?

I also assumed it was a browser issue since it doesn’t matter if I’m connected to a wireless network or a mobile network, and I have the same issue on atleast two different phones. I have tried both with the basic browser that comes with the Android OS and with Chrome. Same problem. I don’t see either browser being very obscure or rare.. :/
