It should import let me log in through "Authorize with Path of Exile".

How does Path of Building behave?

It says: Error: Response code: 403. I also can't import by account name, it says the account profile is private or does not exist. This is not just for mine, I tried my friend's account with the # and numbers but it doesn't work either. Also, I've seen other people talking about this, there is no session ID I can remove or change either.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the 403 on Windows through “Authorize with Path of Exile” and the account-name import flow, then trace those entry points and compare the response with the private-profile message. Done means authentication and account import work for valid accounts without the 403.
