+Bejomika Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I have been using project-gc for awhile but have started receiving the below error when I try to authenticate after accidentally clicking the do not allow authorized developers access. I have since unchecked this but it still does not work. I have tried clearing cookies, different browsers and even different computers but it will not authenticate. I have revoked access from project-gc and retried with no success. Again, do not allow authorized developers authorization is definitely NOT checked. I have reached out to project-gc through their support but have not heard from them. Does anyone have any suggestions to get project-gc to recognize that I DO want to allow access? Thanks very much for any help - I really miss my project-gc access! {"errorMessage":"User has opted out from sharing public profile information with Authorized Developers (https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/account\/settings\/authorizations)."} One last note - access to certitudes, geo-caching forum, etc all work fine. Project-gc does show as an authorized app in my settings, however, project-gc does not seem to realize it! I have also tried revoking project-gcs access and retrying. That did not work either unfortunately. Project-gc showed up again as an authorized app in my settings after I retried to authenticate but it still gave me the same error. Thanks again for any help!

+Aldebay Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have exactly the same problem and after several attempts no ideas left. I contacted project-gc (no answer yet) and GC HQ (standard procedere answer today). Just joining this thread hoping for some help... Quote Link to comment

Is it possible that you have opted out from sharing your statistics with PGC? It is not the same as authenticating as an user but may cause problems with authenticating If you do not exist. "Bejomika" seems to exists so there is noticeable difference between these two nicknames at this moment. Quote Link to comment

+Aldebay Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi Arisoft, no idea why my nick doesnt exist in the PGC database or lets say: didnt exist. I unchcecked the a.m. developper box in the settings and right after that the connection worked again! Now Aldebay is logged in to PGC again and evrythings fine. Thanks a lot! As I didnt find this solution in the workaround description on the authenticate page of PGC website maybe you check whether this could be added there? btw: I don’t remember if I ever changed this setting in my GC.com account...
