Your explanation does not provide a solution and I do not use Chrome. In addition, checking "forgot" in the password box does not bring an answer from Arlo after ten tries.  I find it hard to believe that a company does not want to help its products users.  Please help as it has been a week of failed attempts so far.

Same problem occurring on my sign-in page the past 2 days on Safari.  Same msg on Chrome, even tho it shows a picture from the camera.  Have tried many things to resolve, but none have worked.  May have something to do with Adobe Flash blocking it.  Need help from Arlo support on this.

This didn't make sense (to use IE's InPrivate browser), but it worked twice so far.  Too bad it requires several extra steps; and I still can't get in using Edge IE without InPrivate .  I'm not interested in adding another browser.  Odd that I can login from my phone, but not my desktop.

Did you try this?

In Edge, click on the 3 dots on the top left of the page.

At the bottom of the Menu select Settings.

In the next page in the section that says Clear Browsing Data click on the button that says Choose What to Clear.

On the next page be sure the top 4 items are checked and then click on the Clear button.

Close Edge and reopen it and try to log into your Arlo account.

Yup, tried that and more. Browser data wipped clean using browser tools and McAfee's shredder, and restarting. Nothing worked on Edge or IE except using InPrivate.

The only thing I can think of is that there still regions that are still having problems. Had a lady in Australia that was having the same problem but this morning everything was fixed on its own. Send a Message to @JamesC and let him know where you are and see if he has any input.

I am using Internet Explorer (Windows 7 and 10). Everything worked just fine -- until a few days ago. I can'tlog in any more on any of my computers. Message: "You may be logged into NETGEAR Arlo in a different browser tab. Please close the tab before proceeding. You can also try to restart your browser or delete cookies from your browser before trying to login again."

I cleaned out any cache I can find!

I tried all that: IE, Edge and Firefox -- nothing works since quite a few days. I-Phone works!

After trying all the great "advice" I still can't log in. I guess your "update" screwed everything up. Can't we go bvack to the old "working" version?

I also cannot access my cameras in Safari. Cleared the cookies, cleared the cache. What is going on, and when is this going to be fixed. An answer/solution TODAY please!

Still getting the message about using a different browser or deleting cookings when I try to log in.  Not able to log in on two different computers using Windows and IE 11.  Is there a fix for users using Internet Explorer???

Yes this is the temp fix I got from their tech support the other day, and it works...

In IE go to top right of page, click on the gear icon

Click on safety in drop down

than click on inprivate browsing

When that window comes up, type www.arlo.com in the address bar

Log in and you will see your camera/s

This has truly worked for me..

For over a week I can not log on using Chrome or IE 10. at first it did the 'you are logged into NETGEAR Arlo...', so i cleared the browser history etc. now it flashes the screen like i am going to the cameras then is back to the login page and the password is cleared out. I can login on IE Edge which is the first time i have found that browser usefull in any way. would like it to work on Chrome though

I used the directions for Chrome that were posted in the 1st message of this thread and it has worked beautifully since. All I had to do was clear the Arlo cookies.

If that doesn't work then repeat the procedure and also be sure that Clear Browsing Data is checked and then hit clear, exit and go back in.

Have tried it all in Edge and IE -- on three different computers. Nothing works. I "love" these updates that screw everything up. Microsoft does the same. And we -- as paying customers -- have to try all kinds of nonsense hoping that it will ever work again. Amazing! Company must be in CA!

I have a Mac. I use Safari. I get this message when I try to log in to Arlo:

You may be logged into NETGEAR Arlo in a different browser tab. Please close the tab before proceeding. You can also try to restart your browser or delete cookies from your browser before trying to login again.

My husband also uses Safari but is able to log in.

I have tried your (limited) suggestions to other users, but so far, nothing works.
