There are several reasons this error may have occurred. The following may resolve the issue.

  • Open your web browser in Incognito/Private mode or disable all extensions if you have Incognito mode set to continue running extensions.
  • Use a mainstream browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
  • Disable VPN if you are using one.

I'm using Chrome; not in the incognito mode. I am unable to access FamilySearch using Google Chrome but it's working with Microsoft Edge. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your assistance. Britt Franklin

    Yup. I got that too. I am working off a different browser where I can log in just fine. In fact, Chrome is my different browser where I can log in. Edge is where I get the block. My thoughts after reading your post are that it is not a browser thing but a cookie miscommunication.

    OK, as of 9:15 am EST FamilySearch is accessible again through Google Chrome. The error was apparently cleared when I used the incognito mode to access FamilySearch and then exit and go in through the normal Chrome access portal. Unusual. I had never seen this error before.

    Interesting that it has occurred for some using Chrome and others using Edge. Thank you for the reply, Gail. I switched my Chrome to the incognito mode and signed in easily. When I exited incognito mode and went back to normal mode in Chrome I was able to sign in to FamilySearch with no problem. Maybe we need to add some lard to the cookie dough. ;-)

    Mine is fixed, too, but I don't know what caused it or fixed it. I just noticed Edge wanted to update itself, I clicked ok and then FS login works just fine. I never did find any incognito mode for Edge. Oh well.
