Unable to Sign in in Visual Studio 2019 – Completely Blank Sign In Page - visual-studio-2019

I am unable to sign into my Microsoft account from within Visual Studio 2019 Preview.
I first noticed this when attempting to clone from an Azure Devops repository. However, I get the same error in all circumstances, for example when clicking on “Add an Account” from the Accounts Settings form.
I just get a large completely blank form entitled “Sign into your account”.
I am using Windows 10 on a laptop.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I know this was answered but i too was having the same problem and this didnt work.
First, my problem was when clicking sign in, it would bring up two tabs, one just saying this might take a minute and another saying "sign into your account", the second one would remain blank and moveable.
I couldn't find a solution on the internet, but here's my solution;
In the menu, go to Tools > Options > Environment > Accounts. Click the dropdown below "Add and reauthenticate accounts using:" and select System web browser
Exit the option menu and try to log in again. It should bring up Microsoft edge and let you log in, once you have it should also sync with the program.

This issue was finally resolved by Microsoft support - I needed to reset my Internet Explorer settings (yes really, that product none of us have used for years), back to their default settings (which I hadn't changed in the first place).

In the login option page which is displayed, click account settings (if its not displayed then click help report problem sign in option )
On the screen that get opening select , system web browser.
Now you can log in using browser and it will work fine

In the top right near the 'minimize' there should be a section that shows who is logged in, or an option to log in.
Otherwise, go to help-->Register Product and select the sign-in option.

Created smart home activity (google home) with OAuth2 (which works) but can't Link it in the "Home" app

Introduction
I've been trying to build a Google Home, Smart Home Activity that integrates with Azure AD. I've been able to correctly sign in so the ClientId/endpoints/scopes must be correct.
When I try to connect to the Smart Home skill using the simulator it shows me an error that this functionality isn't supported in the simulator. So I then moved to my actual android phone. However when I try to link to the smart home service in the google home app it correctly asks me to login, but after logging in the login screen disappears and I'm back to selecting a service I want to link to.
Flow to activate service:
So after the 4th image it just goes back to the original screen and no skill was ever added.
I've also setup NGROK as my fullfillment URL but I see no activity other then some of my own tests:
My configuration
This is the way I've set everything up:
Azure AD:
I've also configured the direct URL to be: https://oauth-redirect.googleusercontent.com/r/davysmarthome
Google Home (Action):
Google Home (OAuth):
Summary
My question would be why my skill doesn't want to be linked to. I have not yet implemented anything in my actual API yet but I would expect NGROK to at least show some data traffic if google home would actually try to link itself and request what devices are connected.
After analyzing the 4th image, it can be seen that you haven't enabled "Testing" on your project, sometimes the Account Linking process fails if testing has been disabled for any reason. To make sure testing is enabled for the project, go to AoG Console > Develop > Account Linking > Test (Upper Right Corner).
But, in this case, it does not necessarily mean that the account linking failed, it is also possible that account linking succeeded, but failed in SmartHome Sync. To make sure if account linking has succeeded, please visit https://myaccount.google.com/accountlinking?hl=en and check if the account has been linked correctly.
There are other tools available that can help you with debugging OAuth issues such as "OAuth Playground". It helps in finding out the exact issue causing the error.

G1ANT Advanced lesson 4

I would like to share my experience while setting up the mail.imap command in G1ANT studio.
For everyone stuck at the invalid credentials error--
Open your gmail account (the one you ware using in your code)
Go to the settings tab to the top right corner and then click on See all Settings.
In the All settings option click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP
Enable IMAP
Now head over to you homepage and click on manage accounts tab for your email account.
In the manage account section click on Security
Scroll down and turn on access to LESS SECURE APPS
Let the site update and go back (Do not close the tab directly)
This procedure should fix the invalid credentials error. However, even after doing all this the LIST variable (where the email data is stored) has no value allocated in it.
If anyone can find a solution to this problem, your help would be hugely appreciated.
I think your messages are already seen, so you can unread them and then try again and also see that you have got some messages that are from the current day.
Thank You for your solution for Invalid Credentials.

This application is not allowed to log into this QuickBooks company data file automatically

I want to create native QuickBooks connector. While connecting with QuickBooks Company file I am getting following error.
"This application is not allowed to log into this QuickBooks company
data file automatically. The QuickBooks administrator can grant
permission for an automatic login through the Integrated Application
preferences."
This is my Code:
QBSessionManagerClass sMgr = new QBSessionManagerClass();
try
{
sMgr.BeginSession(fileName, ENOpenMode.omMultiUser);
}
catch
{
sMgr.CloseConnection();
throw;
}
I am using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Solutions 17.0 and QBXML SDK 13.0 Installer.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the issue may be? Thanks in advance.
First hit Ctrl+1 to bring up the following QuickBooks Product Information screen
Second, get EVERYBODY logged out of QuickBooks.
Third, copy the file path (NOT including the name of the QB file) into Windows Explorer to locate the permissions/users .lgb file: Rename it or delete it.
Open up QuickBooks in SINGLE USER mode, logged in as ADMIN.
Go to Edit>Preferences:
Go to Integrated Applications, and the Company Preferences Tab. Highlight the 'CLEARIFY-QQube Tool' and click the Remove button.
Next,Answer Yes to confirm.
Click OK to exit the window.
Return QuickBooks to Multi-user Mode and logged in as Admin.
Open up the QQube Configuration Tool. Then highlight the company and click on the Remove button.
A dialog box will appear telling you to have QB open, and be logged in as Admin, etc. etc.
Click OK to continue.
QuickBooks pops up with permissions:
Confirm to proceed:
If you have QuickBooks Enterprise 11, this dialogue box will pop up giving you further instructions to add a Custom Reporting User calleed "QQube". Be SURE to enter the SAME password as used when you setup the user in QuickBooks.
The company will show up in the Company File List: (Click the Save Button - if you forget to, it will auto prompt you to do so anyway)

ChronoMate: why can't I see my projects?

Once I authorized the ChronoMate app with FreshBooks, I could still not see my client's project in the list.
I made sure that the project was assigned to the client under the
Clients tab.
I made sure that the staff member (the one authorized in the app) was assigned to the client.
Yet it still didn't list the client's projects in ChronoMate.
Make sure that the client is not archived.
Go to People > Clients.
Click the archived link at the bottom of the list.
Select the client and click Un-archive.
Go to ChronoMate and press the Pull button.
The client and their projects should appear in the drop-down now.

Jenkins Enable Security doesnt work

I tried to enable Jenkins CI security according to instructions in the wiki (the “Initial Steps” part). When I save the configuration, the browser asks me for some credentials, but since I haven't set any yet there is no way to get in to create a new user account (according the page above) and as a result I'm getting
Status Code: 401, Exception: Bad credentials
To get back into Jenkins, look at this page: Help! I Locked Myself Out.
To prevent what happened from happening again, I have always found it easiest to enable the security (I'm not sure which method you set), and then add my own user with the "Add" button.
I had the same problem using Chrome on Linux and getting locked out every time by
an auth popup as soon as I saved the security settings.
I found that using either a Chrome "Incognito Window" or Firefox worked Ok.
