Description

I just created a new account using the mac desktop app, but I cannot login with it at all. I get the error:

ERROR Wrong LKSec server length: 0 != 32

Since this is the only device registered (I can see it if I login via web), I don't seem to have any way of adding any other devices.

Research direction

The report concerns login in the macOS desktop app after creating a new account and shows “Wrong LKSec server length: 0 != 32.” Start by reproducing the account-creation and login flow, then trace where the LKSec server value is obtained. Done means the newly created account can log in and add another device without that error.
