Does setting allow all cookies in shields allow to login?

[shinglyu]

I don't quite get your question. But shields are all down, and cookies are allowed in the setting

[shinglyu]

Ah sorry I see. Yes if I set to "Allow all cookies" in the global shields defaults, it works. Maybe it would be better to whitelist this cookie?

This is a known issue. We are tracking it here #1380. I'll close this as duplicate and added +1 there

FYI: This should be fixed on Dec 6th with the 0.57.x release.
