I’m using the login authentication method demo.launch(auth=(X,X)). The log in page is showing up in my spaces but when i enter the right credentials it just resets to the log in page and doesn’t load the app. When I enter the incorrect credentials, it responds with incorrect credentials. Anyone else dealt with this? I’m using OpenAI API and have enable\_queue=FALSE enabled. ---

Looks like this issue is still [unresolved](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues/1259). ---

@freddyaboulton @kenndanielso I’m using a duplicated copy of the SD Web UI on Docker via HF Spaces. > **[Dockerfile.Private.Nightly.A10G · camenduru/webui-docker at main](https://huggingface.co/spaces/camenduru/webui-docker/blob/main/Dockerfile.Private.Nightly.A10G)** > > We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science. It looks like the launch is here: [oh-no.py · camenduru/webui-docker at main](https://huggingface.co/spaces/camenduru/webui-docker/blob/main/oh-no.py). Essentially what I want to do is allow the space to be public so that it can be embedded in an iframe / webcomponent while also not running up a huge bill with the public starting my space up and keeping it running 24/7. Thanks! ---

Hi Kenndanielso, It seems that this issue has been resolved. It can work well in Google Chrome Version 113.0.5672.92 (Official Build) (arm64) on “PC”. (Gradio 3.29.0 + Python 3.8.9 + Huggingface Space). But we have the same failed auth issue on the Mobile Chrome Web browser (Chrome, Safari). Do you have this issue on your Phone Browser? ---

I am now experiencing this problem intermittently in Safari and Chrome. It seems to happen in chrome while using private tabs, but it has happened in Safari multiple times. It does not occur when using firefox, so far. Can we get an update on this to see if the issue has come back?
