@mshima @DanielFran I reproduce

[vw98075]

I retested this issue this morning, and the result is the same. Here is a screenshot. One possible cause is that the Vue client somehow changes the input user credentials.

[qmonmert]

it works on localhost:8080 but not on localhost:9000 maybe the vite config

[vw98075]

The same error on port 8080 with different data on the console, though, in my dev box.

After changing the browser from Brave to Edge, I can sign in to the accounts. I don't know the cause, likely related to cookies. I certainly want to know the cause, if possible. Close this issue for now.
