After Installing on Mac, I use default settings and advance to log in / sign up screen (pictured). Neither the “Log In” nor “Sign Up” buttons do anything. I can click “Back” to return to initial settings selections, and then return to the log in screen, but still can’t log in. I’ve tried quiting the app and re-opening to no avail. ![Screen Shot 2024-02-05 at 11.07.12 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/2X/e/efdd9212e4b643fc6544f972555184e9a23aa8c4.png) ---

Resolved: In my case it was due to having an unusual default browser (Arc) ---
