Hey @rseromenho, This isn’t your connection, despite the message.

Supported platforms are macOS, Windows, and iOS, where setup and auto-updates work properly. ---

The issue isn’t with your account, it’s on our side, in the host part of the service that GrokBot sets up for you. Creating a second account, especially on the same machine, won’t change anything and can sometimes trigger extra security checks, so it’s better to stay with your current one. For now, just keep trying again with your current account and keep the app updated. Once the host side is back up properly, onboarding will go through. I’ll post an update here when … ---
