Description

Hi! I'm able to log in successfully to the website. On macOS and iOS devices, I'm trying to log into the client and the following happens:

  1. Enter username
  2. Enter password
  3. Choose a name for the device and press Continue
  4. "Oops, something went wrong. signing_kid ****** not found"

The redacted part is a long hexadecimal string.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported login flow on macOS and iOS, especially the device-name step where the signing_kid error appears. Compare the client behavior with the successful website login and trace the reported error to its source; done means client login completes without the error.
