Can't Sign In - Session Expired

Jan 02, 2020

Every time I try to open Storyline, I get an Articulate 360 Sign In. When I enter my credentials, I get this error:

Your session has expired. Please refresh your browser to sign in.

I try again to log in and get the same error.

I'm not in a browser.  I rebooted and get the same message.

Hi vivaldo and Nithya!

So sorry you aren't able to log in!

Have you tried installing a fresh copy of the Articulate 360 desktop app? If not, it's simple!

We have detailed steps listed here.

If this doesn't do the trick, we'll want to enlist help from our Support Engineers. Here's a link that will connect you with our Support Team.

Just a quick solution/fix until this gets some kind of bigger update.  I keep the task manager in my toolbar/pinned to the taskbar because I don't like Adobe running in the background slowing things down while it is supposed to be inactive.  So, when this issue comes up, which is maybe once a week, I open the task manager, and under the processes tab, I find all the Articulate 360 icons, right click after selecting each item, and choose end task.  I think there are five associated apps/icons.. this actually ends the tasks which nothing else seems to do.   Once they are all ended, you can start the app and then it will take your login and start properly.  I didn't read all the comments here, so don't know if someone else mentioned this, if not, here ya go.  No computer restart required.

I am currently having his same problem. I am able to log into articulate.com and get to my Review 360, but I cannot open Storyline and am getting the same error message as other people above. ("Your session has expired. Please refresh your browser to sign in.") Each time I enter my password, the same error message appears. Please let me know how to resolve this. Thank you!

Hi Theresa,

Thanks for letting us know what's going on and I'm sorry for the trouble.

First, can I have you close the Articulate 360 desktop app (click on the red X and then head over to the system tray. There, right-click on the Articulate logo and select Quit).

After that, please restart the machine and then try signing in again.

Let me know if you see any improvements from there!

Hi Vicki,

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know that you're running into an issue signing in as well. 

Can you share any troubleshooting that you've done so far?

I shared a solution with Theresa a few days ago above and she replied that a hard reboot had her up and running.

I get this at least weekly, often daily.  I use Storyline, RISE and Articulate Review.  I personally log in multiple times a day because I get kicked out of one or the other. Each time, I must attempt it at least 3 times, then I often need to switch to another browser or reboot to resolve the issue. This is the most frustrating login experience I've ever had with ANY software and I dream of a resolution that will solve it. I have such low expectations that it will be solved from previous experiences reporting problems, that I just chose to live with it for more than a year.  Today I just feel salty enough to come here and remind you that this sucks and you should fix it.

Very possibly that I'm on a company VPN, but who isn't these days?
