Students can't login

Hello. I have the same problem when we try to connect in code.appinventor.mit.edu

We have the error 400. We have a lot of projects there and now we can login in with our google account.

Is there any way to log again?

Thanks

Can you test if Chrome's Incognito mode works for you?

I contacted my building computer tech guy who contacted our network administrator.
These are comments from our network administration department: I haven't heard anything yet...but by the looks of it, I'd say it's got to clear Google before it'll work for us. I'm guessing Google's OAuth 2.0 has a stricter policy than what the MIT app was originally using, so Google & MIT have to talk it through.
So got a couple of replies back, both Dusty and Hunter agrees that it's an MIT/Google issue and that the MIT people would need to work it out with Google.
I would hate that our only solution at this point is for students to reset password. The students who successfully reset the MIT app inventors password lost all their previous projects.
How do we get those back?

@Susan_Lane can you help Rory re:

@Rory_Stadt Can the students that reset passwords save and recall new Projects? Asked another way, does resetting fix the sign in issue. Realizing they do not have access to their previous Projects.

If the students use the same email address as their Google IDs, they should have access to their older projects. Can you send me an example student's email directly to jis@mit.edu?

I have made a minor change to our OAuth configuration. I don't believe it has anything to do with this problem, but it might. So please see if this problem is still happening. Thanks.

I have a class of 23 students. All are using Google Chrome on new iMac computers. One student, last Thursday, Nov 4th, suddenly cannot access her account. We cleared the cookies and tried incognito but keep getting the same 400 error listed above. I contacted our IT person and he said it is not an issue on our end. The student is not under 13, either. This is written after the "small change to our OAuth configuration." The student also cannot access her account from home, so it isn't anything to do with the district restrictions.

Is the student using a school account or a generic gmail account?

Question for people have problems:

Are you using http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu or http://code.appinventor.mit.edu?

If you have been using http://code.appinventor.mit.edu with Google Accounts, we are aware of a problem that can cause the 400 error.

We are working on a solution.

I believe we have it fixed...
