WowGit uses software called Gitea and I try to keep it up to date so we run the latest version.

Unfortunately, sometimes between version update, new problem(s) come to light - problems that may impact regular Wownero users.

One of those new issues is that some are not able to login into https://login.wownero.com

On the back-end side of things, I get this error:

```text
2022/03/03 18:51:11 ...rs/web/auth/oauth.go:844:SignInOAuthCallback() [E] UserSignIn: could not find a matching session for this request
```

And the user sees a 500 error.

## Solution

So far I have managed to help 3 people with this issue and the solution was *always* to completely **clear browser cookies** related to the `*.wownero.com` domain(s).

So, make sure the cookies from `login.wownero.com` **and** `git.wownero.com` are gone. The easiest way is to clear your browsers history/cookies "since the beginning of time".
