Get help with Scratch Auth
(#104)did doing this exact thing work for you? if yes, either the scratch api/scratch auth/penguin mod issues were fixed on the backend, or you just coped with them by waiting 10 seconds in #8Hi. i was trying to log in “PenguinMod” but i stumbled on a issue
Since cloud login was down at the time. i used the two other login “options”.
since it did not work despite me posting the FULL codes on my profile/shared project… i was wondering if i can get some advice.
i heard that other users are having problems too.
Bye for now.
GUYS I JUST FOUND HOW TO LOG IN ON PENGUINMOD BY SCRATCH AUTHENTICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BY THE WAY THIS IS ONLY FOR PENGUINMOD USERS!
1. click the sign in button in the top bar in PenguinMod, a window should appear then.
2. click project comments not the cloud or the user comment.
3. look for the open authentification project button and click on it.
4. click on generate code button.
5. comment on the project with the code
NOTE: THE CODE MUST BE LIKE THIS “INSERT RANDOM CODE” NOT LIKE THIS “heres the code! INSERT RANDOM CODE”
6. go back to the scratch auth window.
7. press the “done” button
8. wait a bit, like 10 seconds or more.
9. remove the window.
10. you can now programm in penguinmod!

I am trouble trying to sign in into PenguinMod. I added my profile in, but when i sign in into my account it sends me into a page that says “Please wait..” and nothing else. I've been waiting for 2 hours yet it doesn't send me to PenguinMod

No one can help you if you're getting mad for no reason. I get that it can be frustrating if you aren't able to log in via Scratch Auth, but getting mad at people who are trying to help won't help. i am yeelling at you why failed me
Anyway, what issue are you having with Scratch Auth? Are errors showing up in the Scratch Auth tab when you click “done,” if so: what are they? Which auth method are you utilizing? What website are you trying to log in with? Without any of these details it's impossible for us to do anything.

(#103)Scratch APIs are failing. People here are trying to help SAuth users in their free time, and looky literally created SAuth in his free time! so no, nobody here can be “failing” you, since you can´t really have expectations of anybody here just fixing scratch API or finding a critical bug in SAuth with a snap of their fingers
i am yeelling at you why failed me

I'm sorry to hear that. Are there any other details that you could provide? Such as screenshots, errors, the site(s) you're attempting to log into, etc. Anything would help. I can't log in, all methods not working

(#113)ii believe the problems are on scratch API´s side (for example, comments are getting way glitchier now, with tripleposts/comments not posting for a long time/loading errors becoming incredibly common), and we can´t do anything with thatI'm sorry to hear that. Are there any other details that you could provide? Such as screenshots, errors, the site(s) you're attempting to log into, etc. Anything would help. I can't log in, all methods not working

My school account doesn't save across Chromebooks. Is there any way to help? At the very least, you could check if there's a code on the Scratch account.

This is not an issue with Scratch Auth. This is how browser cookies work. Scratch Auth saves something called a “cookie” to your device in order to remember who you are, these cookies(at least right now) are entirely on only one device, that's just how they work. My school account doesn't save across Chromebooks. Is there any way to help? At the very least, you could check if there's a code on the Scratch account.
I'm sorry to hear that. When you attempt to log in, does it give an error on the Scratch Auth page? What site are you trying to log into? Are you pasting your code into the specified location(s)?I can't sign in help

The data that proves you're the right person is stored on your computer, so if you change computers you have to sign in again. This is intentional to make the system secure.

Hello, I'm trying to add my account to PenguinMod, but even though I did the instructions properly (commenting a code on my account/project), it didn't work!

Make sure you're pressing ctrl-v, not ctrl-w. Also, make sure that your browser is fully up to date, and that it's not just the tab crashing. im trying to put the generated code to scratch but it deletes the tab
This might just be a problem with PenguinMod. Did you get any error on the ScratchAuth window when attempting to authenticate? Could you check the console(f12 > console) of PM next time you attempt to log in to see if it's giving any errors in there either? Anything would help.
