Trying to login but nothing happens

Bug Reports

Still having this issue. I did a fresh install of Cursor. Tried to log in, and nothing happens. I get stuck into the Log in or Sign up modal in Cursor. I’ve tried with 3 different browsers: edge, chrome and vivaldi. None of them work! Not sure how many Windows users are being affected by this, but this is a serious issue for people willing to adopt this IDE.

(UPDATE): I tested the same in another Windows PC with same settings and same browsers and it worked. So I have no clue why is this affecting one of the PCs and not the other one.

Same :joy:

Same issue, not able to log in after logging out.

I had the “Network issues” which said I am not connected to the internet although I was, so I uninstalled and installed the Cursor again. Then I also removed the other files from Library and did everything according to the book but to no avail.

Same, I can’t login. I click the “Log in” button in cursor IDE. Then log in on Arc browser, but nothing happened in Cursor IDE.

Hey, try another browser, like Google Chrome.

68

Set Chrome as the system’s default browser. It will work.

Same issue on the latest version on Windows and Chrome. Successful login in browser, but Cursor is not reacting.

Had the issue today, too.

Solved it by Logging out of the cursor Website, clearing cache and cookies in Firefox, restarting cursor app and logging in again.

71

you have to make default browser from the browser setting.

72

worked for me. Thanks

Posting here in case it’s useful for anyone else…

I managed to work around the issue where clicking “log in” in Cursor does not open a browser tab.

I’m on Kubuntu, and this is one of many issues I’m facing with installing and setting up Cursor (0.50.5-x86_64). It’s weird that Cursor fails to open a URL in the browser, given VSCode does that without a problem in my system.

So, I tried updating the default browser application in my OS to Chrome and Firefox, neither of which worked, so I had to be a bit creative :sweat_smile: but it did work in the end. Here’s what I did:

  1. Created a simple Bash script (argument_output.sh) that’ll output the arguments it receives to a temp.txt file
#!/bin/bash
for arg in "$@"; do
  result+="$arg"
done

echo "$result" > ./temp.txt
  1. Made this script executable
chmox +x argument_output.sh
  1. Changed my system preferences to use this script as the browser default
  2. Launched Cursor, clicked “log in”
  3. Copied the URL from the temp.txt file and opened it using my preferred browser, and logged in
  4. And I’m in:

Don’t forget to revert your system preferences changes.
