Do you know if anyone else on the site is running into the same issue?

If the site admins haven’t done it already, they could enable the `verbose_discourse_connect_logging`. Some details about debugging [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) issues with that setting are here: [Debug and fixing common DiscourseConnect issues](https://meta.discourse.org/t/debug-and-fixing-common-discourseconnect-issues/103496). I’m not sure that topic covers the issue you are running into though.

The full error message that’s shown in the logs for this will be something like: `Nonce is incorrect, was generated in a different browser session, or has expired`. Possible causes of this are:

- the nonce that’s passed from the application to Discourse on your login attempt doesn’t match the nonce that was initially sent from Discourse to the application
- the nonce was generated in a different session than the session you are logging in from. This will happen if the application is making a background request to get the nonce from Discourse, instead of having it be generated by a browser redirect.
- the user waits longer than 10 minutes (the nonce expiry time) to complete the login

I’m guessing that you’re running into the first issue in that list.
