I get an error message when logging in. In the past I just clicked the button again and it worked. Now the button is grayed out preventing me from using it. Error message and grayed out login button. Browser - Firefox version 100.0 (64 bit).
For security purposes let us know you're a human. This is just a plain box with that text and the only option is to close the pop up box window, nothing else there.
Later I tried it and got:
For security purposes let us know you're a human. But this time the pop up box was larger with nothing else to see and a open text box at the bottom of the page, again the only option is to close the box window. No way to confirm anything.
The third time I got:
An error occurred, please try again. And this time the SIGN IN button is grayed out so you can not use it. Tried reloading the page and it let me in. This has been happening a long time ETSY and your clear cache and history suggestions does nothing do anything to fix it.
This issue has been going on for soo long without any fix from Etsy. I really believe that Etsy has hired a new batch of incompetents that doesn't know what they are doing. I won't hold my breath that this problem will ever get resolved. They seem to spend a lot of time snooping around into our shops and making stupid suggestions. Etsy, focus on fixing this websites problems and stay out of our shops.
I left a response to a post from May the other day with the same issue. Today I noticed when signing in that my username showed my email address and that is not what I initially used. I changed my email address and put the original username and then my password, hit save and as of now, I signed in normally at last. I will see if this works from here on. It's worth a try if you are feeling exasperated.
Back to not being able to sign in with Firefox and getting the red message error. After I signed in twice, it used to let me in but now I'm getting the prove that you're a human for security purposes again as well and it still does nothing. I found another way around to signing in....I google Etsy.com and search for my shop's name and find that I am already signed in. Something is clearly wrong and security and privacy are paramount. From there I can view everything and even print out mailing labels. Strange alright but it's a way in. I am concerned
@blueLavenderJewelry: Based on your description and workaround, it sounds like some redirect or return value Etsy is sending back to the page after login is erroring out not the login process itself. Clearly a valid session has been created for you, but I don't blame you for being concerned.
Mine started in June of this year, just off and on error messages and progress along the months to every time I sign in with a Big Red banner or error message. This is not just on one browser I use 3, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera which the most used. No where else do I have a problem signing into accounts of any kind, and diffidently no work arounds, but here on Etsy. Conclusion for me Either Etsy is under fire from Bots or their tech department is the worst on the internet. Really starting to look like old news, that you dont bother with, you waste basket it and walk away. The Service promised for the raised fees, is not cost effective as Service not there.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. I have found that when signing in when this happens to me, be patient...wait a total of 15 seconds. If you still can't sign in, try again using the same method. Works for me!
I get the prove you not a robot thing on Chrome. I generally use MSEdge and with 3 shops I am in and out of each many times a day. I'd say 75% of the time if I pick the shop name from the saved info drop down instead of typing it all in I get the red error message then it goes on the 2nd try. I feel the glitch is somewhere in the saved info. No place else do I have these errors...just Etsy so that tells me who the problem is.
@hopeandjoystudios : This sounds like it could be possibly an issue with session cookies when going back and forth between shops. A workaround would be to use a different browser for each shop and then you just stay logged in.
No matter what browser I am on Chrome, Foxfire, Opera, Edge never use, as we do not get along period. All are Slow loading so wait time of about minute before I can even sign in, then more slow load when page is there spins talking to Etsy about another minute and log-in. Also if I do not wait for slow load, I get that stupid captcha so I reload whole thing and clear everything and clear all junk with CCleaner and all set until i goof up again for slow. Only site in the World of the speedy g powers speed of the web I do this. They are just not in the game of Tech World they lag
