I explain the problem I was seeing (and link to the changes I make) in this topic: [Redirect after logout with full screen login](https://meta.discourse.org/t/redirect-after-logout-with-full-screen-login/109755)

The difference here is that the issue I faced only happened after logout, not during the login process (but I imagine the problem lies in a similar section of code).

This kind of change in behaviour across sessions strikes me as cookie oddness, so maybe have a look there.

I’ve sorta-kinda managed to decrypt session store cookies on live Discourse sites by copying [this function](https://gist.github.com/LeoMcA/a3e3f5d2c1448b763c587f1c53f06180) into the rails console before, but it’s messy. For proper debugging I’d suggest running [a dev image in docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009) and adding this to `ApplicationController` to get it to print the current session cookie on every request.

```plaintext
before_action :print_session_cookie

def print_session_cookie
  pp session
end

```

I imagine you’re already doing this, but just in case you’re not, I wouldn’t rely on github search to do digging like this. I find Atom’s search (other text editors are available) far more fast and reliable.
