https://missions.ingress.com/ authoring tool log on fails

The log on for mission authoring usually fails.

Authentication Error

Unable to verify authenticity. Please try again.

Sometimes repeated attempts will eventually work. Usually they dont and trying work arounds is necessary, such as switch to Chrome guest account or incognito. Clearing cookies can help.

Even then, usually multiple attempts are usually needed.

I've tried from linux (debian) and mac.

ps It would be nice to have a mission discussion category

    Looks like the main issue is cookies are disabled for third party sites in chrome by default. Although I had it set (by default) to block third party cookies in incognito mode, switching it to allow all cookies, the missions.ingress.com works better.

    I still get this on first attempt:

    An error occured (code = 500)

    Internal Server Error

    But second try it worked.

    This is still an issue. missions.ingress.com always fails the first time with authenication error. This error happens right away.

    So I delete the cookies. go to missions.ingress.com and sign in. Then it always fails a second time. This is a very slow timeout.

    An error occured (code = 500)

    go to missions.ingress.com a third time. This time I dont need to log in. Its a little slow... takes about 30 seconds.

    This almost always works... about 80%

    go to missions.ingress.com a forth time, and this time its fast... about 5 seconds.

    After this, its always reliable and fast. Its those first 3 attempts that are slow.

    It would be good to improve the missions.ingress.com authentication to be more like intel, community or wayfarer.

    update - the issue does not occur with firefox.

    Once it works in chrome, it stays working for roughly a day. Do cookies expire?

    Happens on Macbook Pro and Linux desktop.

    I get it very frequently (every new day I try) on a Macbook Pro with Chrome. Log out -> log in works for me every time, though it is annoying.
