      Thanks for bringing this to our attention, astronomik77.

       

      Can you temporarily disable any security apps you may possibly have, like an antivirus, VPN, firewall etc., to see if that helps?

       

      Also, if you're on a Basic free account, make sure that you have less than 3 devices linked to your account already, in order to sign in to this one.

       

      Let me know how it goes!
