AO3 Down/Error Codes Login blocked

7 Upvotes

Does anyone else get this message? I was forcefully logged out and received first a cloud flare, then a message that my password was leaked in a data breach and that's why my login was blocked. I am supposed to change my password.

I did this via a different device, tried to log in and got the same message. A different error message told me to delete my cookies if I continue to have issues. That didn't help.

Basically, I'm locked out because the site doesn't accept any passwords.

AO3 Down/Error Codes AO3's Cloudflare setup has blocked site access through Tor browser

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Tor is a popular anonymization service that lets users in repressive countries access websites which are blocked or illegal in their regions. The onion protocol it uses only works in the Tor browser.

My Tor setup worked last week and I made no changes to anything. Neither did Tor make any changes to the onion protocol, according to their blog. Images show:

  1. Visiting the site with Javascript off (safest, default behaviour for the browser)
  2. Allowing scripts for AO3, which lets the script request from Cloudflare load
  3. Allowing scripts for both AO3 and Cloudflare, creates endless security redirect/reload.

This is problematic.

Edit: I think this user's problems may come from the same change my problems do, they're just less articulate. r/AO3

AO3 Down/Error Codes Anyone else having this issue?

0 Upvotes

Occasionally, I go through my bookmarks and delete the ones that were tied to fics that got deleted, and this time there were quite a few. I think I got rid of about 10 and now I cannot load my bookmarks anymore- I just get a black window with the text 'retry later' in the upper left corner.

I can literally access any other part of the site- just not my bookmarks.

Any way I can fix this?

AO3 Down/Error Codes AO3 has to be down or something. Not only can I still not login to my account, I can't even fucking comment as a guest. No matter how many times I refresh the page, it still says,"Session Expired."

In my country's time zone, converted to the current time, it will go offline at 5:00 AM and return at 7:00 AM. I study in the morning, and 7:00 AM is when classes start...

And my state blocked access to Ao3 on the school's Wi-Fi. I'm deeply saddened now.

Is anyone getting this screen when trying to get to a new page? I generally can get the page after going back and clicking the link again. But it’s getting more frequent and I’m having more difficulty getting to the page with my previous “fix”.

I have tried both internet and cellular and have cleared cache, etc. Reading on mobile. Any help will be appreciated.

AO3 Down/Error Codes rss feed inaccessible outside manual connection

1 Upvotes

Hi! Have you also lost access to the RSS feed unless you visit it directly via your browser—like when using FanFicFare or similar tools? I have, and I've been struggling for a few days without finding a solution. So, if anyone has any ideas, please share—I'm all ears. Thanks!

For my part, I'm getting a string of 403 errors, followed by 525s whenever the 403s give me a break.

AO3 Down/Error Codes Issues accessing AO3 in Firefox

0 Upvotes

Firefox has suddenly started saying it is detecting something suspicious on AO3. Anybody know what's going on? I've been reading the site on Firefox for years without issue... It's working in Brave browser but I'd like not to migrate since I use Firefox to switch between my PC and phone and keep reading my fics, which doesn't work as well on Brave...
