When I visit a new HIVE ecosystem (like Reverio, for example), for the first time (or if I need to subsequently login again at some other point in time), why am I seemingly always having to go through the login process twice?

When I tried to login to Reverio for the first time just now, HiveSigner was one of the options, so I chose that. The process flow that followed was:

My kdbx client autofills my uid & HIVE Sign pwd. I click to submit and I end up on a page that can't return me to the web app (Reverio). So I go back and click on Login again.

Once again the choices are presented - HIVE Signer being one of them. I choose that again (for the second time). The same uid/pwd prompt comes up, autofilled by my kdbx client with the correct credentials and voila! I'm returned to the web app (Reverio in this case just now) and my profile pic appears in the upper right, indicating that I've succesfully logged in.

And.... here I am ;)

So, before anyone answers, I'd like to ask that everyone please respect the question and if you don't have an actual answer to offer, that's perfectly fine, but please don't suggest that I ask in Discord (as I've seen in so many other questions posted here) - THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN. I'm here participating at HIVE because I'm a FOSSie that believes in the utility and power of open source software to change social communications as we know it - for the better; and I simply prefer not to particpate in forums that are proprietary closed source solutions, especially deprecated, privacy disrespecting, monolithic silos like Discord. I'll hit up the Telegram support group for HIVE if need be, or find a Matrix channel, but in the spirit of ServerFault, this appears to be the perfect forum to address and resolve such issues - correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe in HIVE for a few reasons, not the least of which is that it is an open source blockchain construct, with open client apps affording us the opportunity to participate from myriad entry points - that's really kewl IMO, but being a relative n00b here, I've certainly got my fair share of questions and a lot of research to perform.

I'm hoping that this Q&A forum at Revario is a correct place in the HIVE ecosystem in which to do that, and FWIW, Discord is certainly not AFAIC.

Since I don't login/out of a lot of HIVE services regularly, I've only tested this on desktop versions of Vivaldi, Brave Browser, and Firefox on both Debian Linux and Windows. I've yet to venture into the HIVE ecosystem on Android :)

Anyway, I had made some screenies to show the process flow so anyone could see exactly the steps I seemingly have to follow, but this particular forum doesn't seem to support image uploads.

If there's another "HIVE based" support or discussion forum that is more appropriate for posting questions and answers then please do not hesitate to let me know, but I'm pretty committed to keeping this within our HIVE ecosystem :)

If I can come back and edit later, I might publish an article about this and then post the link to that HIVE article. I appreciate any assistance that might be afforded and look forward to your thoughts on the solution or explanations for why this occurs; also, what others here prefer to use for supplying login credentials and why.

Kindest regards,

tallship
