ARLO web login looping & or would not move past login page (Resolved)

[ARLO-SNAFU]

Despite using 3 browsers, all attempts to login to https://arlo.netgear.com/ failed - no error msgs, login continously "looped" and or remained on login page.

EDIT:Netgear m.home login no issues, all firmware up to date, all security patches applied.

Exited FW - login successful. Finally😁!

What did you do to corrrect this?  I get a message that 'a web page is slowing down your browser' and then the continuous sign in loop.  If sign in works, I am frequently being booted off the arlo web page.

First, people should be using my.arlo.com - not the older arlo.netgear.com.  The old URL still works (redirecting to the new one).  But at some point that will likely change.

I've sometimes seen the "slowing down your browser" message, but just waiting a bit longer seemed to clear it for me.  Clearing your browser cache might help.  If you recently updated Chrome to v77, then you might also want to reboot the PC - there were some issues I saw with other web sites that cleared up when I did that.

Arlo has made some changes there (and I wish they'd undo at least some of them).  If you do refresh the browser page, you will have to log in again.  I developed a habit of doing that fairly often (sometimes going back, followed by refresh) - which I am now trying to unlearn. 

But if you stay with the navigation controls in the web page itself, you shouldn't have to log in again (after you get through the allow flash "dance").
