Is anyone else having login attempts hang at "We need to confirm you are not a bot"? Tried on several browsers and all produce the same result.

From the same network? Do you have adblocker enabled (even if subscriber)?

Running uBlock Origin, but it's never been a problem until now. Just checked and disabling it when logging in fixes things.

 

 

Any idea what I could be blocking that's causing the problem?

I wouldn't know but my guess is they have deployed new rules.

Just logged in now with uBlock active and it worked again, so I'm guessing they briefly stuffed something up somewhere.

FWIW I'm seeing the same issues. I have the hcaptcha privacy pass extension installed too, and if I have cloudflare passes there I can skip the cloudflare check, which is where things are hanging.

@TheoM You're also posting from what appears to be NordVPN. Perhaps try disabling this as proxy services are seen as untrusted to WAF's worldwide :)

Ah, yeah - normally I'm not browsing using a VPN buuuut when I turn nord off it bluescreens so I've opted to leave it on until I can close all my tabs!
