Difficulty logging in to Alfasoft support Safari, Mac (older Chrome)

Alfasoft recommendation

We recommend using a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome, as a solution.
In Chrome, this issue should be resolved in versions above Chrome version 84.

Explanation

Users occasionally run into issues with logging into the Help Center on their iOS device or when using Safari. This is caused by the Prevent cross-site tracking setting, which blocks certain types of data from being preserved during the login redirection. Native authentication relies on cross-site tracking, so it needs to be disabled for users to be able to log in using Safari.

This setting is enabled by default and users need to manually disable it to fix the issue, or use a different browser.

There are two ways to fix the problem:

1. Follow the on-screen instructions
2. Turn of cross-site tracking
