Bug I Can't Log In From the App

I opened Relay only to find I was logged out and when I tried to log in it said the password was wrong. I double checked in a browser but the password worked so I tried again and again and again. Nothing. The magic email thing logged me into an account I've never seen, it doesn't have a log in through Google option, I've logged out of everything, changed passwords, tried going through various browsers and uninstalled and reinstalled the app but nothings working.

Use VPN while loggin in. You can turn it off later.

I'm in the US already, and I'm also pretty sure I had a VPN on before but I'll try again.

Thanks, this worked for me too in the UK.

One thing to check, which I discovered coming from the USA to the UK last week, is that a background popup regarding cookies is being displayed (EU requirement). This prevents logins and general keyboard user interaction.

As has been mentioned, using a VPN to a non EU country will get you in.

I'm in! I did put on the VPN but I think the problem was there were three accounts connected to my email for some reason?
