Hello Tikhon Kudinov,

Everytime a new port has been assigned to the lens desktop and always got login error, please try again later. All my colleague has been using the lens desktop without any issue but only me getting this error. I cleared the cache, browser history everything restarted the pc but still same issue. When i tried on my personnel laptop it works perfectly fine. But on work pc its not working.

Hello Tikhon,

I dont find any help section…support is disabled and i am not sure why this is happening. This is a very frequent issue which is happening with the lens desktop and so many user are facing the same issue but unfortunately the lens support is not able to provide any support or doc to resolve this.

I even engaged my IT team to look into the issue but they also unable to resolve the issue.

Before installation i registered account “Lens personal”.
Details:

  1. I launched the application using the desktop icon.
  2. Activation Lens Desktop window appears.
  3. Default browser with auth form launched.
  4. I unputed correct login and password (I can’t add two images).
  5. Browser sent info into application.
  6. App showed error message.

Hello,

Could you try to first log into Lens ID portal and after successfully logging in click on “Lens Desktop”. It should redirect you to the Lens Desktop with your credentials.

We are waiting for your reply.

Hi,

It seems that proxy settings are not passed properly to service component that is doing the login on Lens Desktop and that’s why Lens is not able to request the auth server. We will try to reproduce this and fix this issue as soon as possible.
