Anybody else have this "log-in" loop issue in the Houdini Launcher ( see attached pic )? The launcher prompt requiring a log-in blocks me from being able to click on the gear icon to sign in again. If I hit ok, it'll say "Logging in" next to the gear, then display my username and the log-in prompt pops up again, continuing the loop until I force quit.

I've also experienced this (though it was a while ago) and I think the solution was to just log out of sidefx.com and try again. Somehow it seemed to gotten into a bad authentication state since I was already logged in and it could not tell. Even reinstalling things didn't help and the only thing that fixed it was to log out so it could just log in again. Not sure why but that at least helped me.

yep, whenever the credential cache expires.

I have an open bug for the issue:

My work around is to open hkey to force fetching credentials. I hold down the enter key while spam clicking on the launcher to dismiss the dialogs while navigating to open the license administrator. Once hkey refreshes the login, restarting the launcher should allow it to login again.
