iOS 12 vs. iOS 13 Login

We recently had an issue where people were trying to sign in to our Discourse site but were being redirected to our main Wordpress site (which is the default redirect for our membership software, Memberful). It seemed like it was actually an iOS 12 vs iOS 13 issue. That s, when people upgraded their software, everything was back to normal.

I was wondering if anyone had experienced this and if you had a workaround for folks who have older devices and are unable to upgrade to iOS 13.

There was a bug in Safari around samesite=lax cookies:

I’m not 100% sure, but I think you can work around the issue by asking users to visit the /login page first, and then use the login button to initiate the SSO flow.

Is that the /login page you’re referencing?

Yes, I think visiting that page first might avoid the safari bug. (Although I don’t have an ios12 device to check)

Have you tried updating to the latest version of iOS 12 (iOS 12.4.5)?
