zulip: Can't create account or login on chat.zulip.org with GitHub
I found out about the demo server and I wanted to test it. Unfortunately using this GitHub account for authentication doesn’t seem to work.
These are the steps I have taken:
- Went to https://chat.zulip.org/register/
- Chose Sign up with GitHub
- Approved Authorize zulip
- Got redirected to “Sign up for Zulip” (
https://chat.zulip.org/complete/github/?redirect_state=...) - Went to https://chat.zulip.org/ and got redirected to https://chat.zulip.org/login/
- Chose Login with GitHub
- Got the error message “Zulip account not found.”

We just did a redesign of that page to be more clear (not available in production yet, but it now reads like this:
Actually, @ciupicri I think that might be your issue as well.
@andychu I think the firefox issue might be this? https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/4914; basically Django’s CSRF requires the
Referer header to be set. If it’s not, open a new issue? It’s a lot easier to debug if we don’t get several independent things in a single issue thread.
